Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Ninth Circuit err in denying a COA where a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right was demonstrated because reasonable jurists could disagree with the district court's resolution of Petitioner's constitutional claims of insufficient evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel or could conclude the issues presented are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further?
