Is the Circuit Court's order an abuse of discretion?

QUESTIONS PRESENTED : Is the Circuit Court’s order in deciding sua sponte to issue its Mandate denying relief without first having afforded petitioner prior notification and a meaningful opportunity to hear his explanation in refutation dismissing the second/successive habeas application an abuse of discretion, contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established statutory, and case law from this Court? Did appellate counsel render ineffective representation in failing to present unreasonably the significant and obvious issues on the first-tier appeal as of right?
