Stephen Jason Whitaker v. Jeff Premo, Superintendent, Oregon State Penitentiary
Whether a Court of Appeals' denial of a certificate of appealability conflicts with this Court's rulings in Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254, 260 (1986), where the district court determined that the state court claim that trial counsel was ineffective in allowing the defendant to enter a guilty plea based on counsel's "misleading information about the law and sentencing and how it applied" exhausted the more specific federal habeas claim that trial counsel was ineffective in failing to advise him of relevant statutory maximum penalties.
