Whether the Ninth Circuit's ruling denying a certificate of appealability conflicts with this Court's ruling in Miller-El v. Cockrell

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the Ninth Circuit’s ruling denying a certificate of appealability conflicts with this Court’s ruling in Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003), when Mr. Ramsey presented a debatable issue of counsel’s ineffective representation under the Sixth Amendment. 2. Whether the Ninth Circuit’s ruling denying a certificate of appealability conflicts with this court’s ruling in Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003), when the district court implicitly created a per se rule about counsel’s representation, in direct contradiction to Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), which holds that that counsel’s representation must be assessed “considering all of the circumstances.” i
