Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Whether, under this Court's holdings, in Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322 (2008), and Buck v. Davis, 580 U.S. 100 (2017), it is inadequate for a Court of Appeals to merely deny an application for Certificate of Appealability, without stating whether the denial is procedural, or on the merits, thereby preventing meaningful review. Especially when the . applicant made a substantial showing of the denial of a Constitutional right, by showing as to each issue that reasonable jurists would find the District Court's ruling debatable or wrong.
