When a Petitioner relies upon the McQuiggin V Perkins 133 S.Ct. 1924 miscarriage of justice actual innoccence exception to overcome the AEDPA one year statute of limitations, and the District Court conducts only a statuatory and equitable tolling analysis where actual innocence was precluded in that analysis, in direct opposition to McQuiggin supra without consideration of McQuiggin supra in any way, did the Fifth Circuit err by finding that the actual innocence claim to overcome the time bar doesn't deserve encouragement to proceed further, and then rely solely on that to preclude even the overview of thezclaims for valdity, without conducting a correctness of the District Court's procedural ruling analysis, conflicting with McQuiggin supra and Slack V McDaniel 120 S.Ct. 1595 in the time bar context?

When a Petitioner relies upon the McQuiggin V Perkins 133 S.Ct. 1924 miscarriage of justice actual innoccence exception to overcome the AEDPA one year statute of limitations, and the District Court conducts only a statuatory and equitable tolling analysis where actual innocence was precluded in that analysis, in direct opposition to McQuiggin supra without consideration of McQuiggin supra in any way, did the Fifth Circuit err by finding that the actual innocence claim to overcome the time bar doesn't deserve encouragement to proceed further, and then rely . solely on that to preclude even the overview of thezclaims for valdity, without conducting a correctness of the District Court's procedural ruling analysis, conflicting with McQuiggin supra and Slack V McDaniel 120 S.Ct. 1595 in the time bar context? QUESTION #2). In the actual innocence context, there exists a , split between United States Court of Appeals. The split concerns the terms "newly presented" and "newly available."

QUESTION #4 Did the Fifth Circuit err by finding that reason— able jurists could-not debate the denial on the mérit the claims = — related to the revocation and punishment when reasonable jurists have disagreed on the resolution of these issues already? ii
