Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the district court erred in failing to find that the state court entered a decision that was unreasonable in light of the full record, and whether the circuit court erred in failing to find that the district court's ruling was at least debatable and worthy of a certificate of appealability.

Whether a petitioner may challenge an otherwise valid post-conviction waiver in a post-conviction action on the grounds that it was entered as the result of ineffective assistance of counsel, and if not clearly the case, whether the issue was at least debatable.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a defendant's waiver of post-conviction relief rights was entered knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily
