2. Was Petitioner's Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of appellate counsel violated when appellate counsel failed to argue that Petitioner's Sixth Amendment right to counsel was denied at a critical stage?
3. Was Petitioner's Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel violated when sentencing counsel failed to object to not only his criminal history, but also his criminal history category?
