Salvador Diaz v. United States
DueProcess HabeasCorpus
Did the court of appeals err in denying petitioner's COA application?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Where the COA determination under § 2253(c) requires an overview of the claims in the habeas petition and a general assessment of their merits, did the court of appeals err when it denied Petitioner’s COA application by merely reciting the requirements for granting a COA under § 2253(c)(2) that a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right be demonstrated? Did the Second Circuit frivolous reviews of Petitioner’s submissions violate the Due Process Clause of the Fifth amendment? | 1 & | RELATED CASES 28 U.S.C. § 2255 Proceedings Below: Diaz v.
