Nathaniel Woods v. Cynthia Stewart, Warden, et al.
HabeasCorpus
Could reasonable jurists disagree with the district court's rejection of Mr. Woods' claim that Martinez v. Ryan, 566 U.S. 1 (2012), and Trevino v. Thaler, 569 U.S. 418 (2013) excused the default of his federal habeas claim that trial counsel was ineffective during plea negotiations, and, accordingly, did the Eleventh Circuit err in denying a certificate of appealability?
