Whether rulings by the district court denying relief are debatable by jurists of reason if rulings by other courts in similar situations arguably support the movant-appellant's claims

QUESTION PRESENTED This case raises a pressing issue of national importance: In applying for a certificate of appealability (COA) to appeal from the denial of a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, whether rulings by the district court denying relief are debatable by jurists of reason if rulings by other courts in similar situations arguably support the movant-appellant’s claims. Specifically, did the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit improperly deny Ms. Shauger a COA after she had demonstrated that the facts of her case, when applied to rulings of this Court, several Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of Idaho, as well as to the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice (3d ed. 1993), arguably supported her ineffective assistance claims?
