Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Whether the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”)—-which denied an ineffective assistance of counsel claim based on a conflict of interest despite a request to remand for a hearing on the claim-conflicts with the decisions of this Court on an important matter and therefore the decision by the Fifth Circuit calls for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory powers such that a compelling reason is presented in support of discretionary review by this Honorable Court.
