Question Presented (from Petition)

1 Did the Eleventh Circuit violate the precedent of Holmes v. United States, 876 F.2d 1545 (11th Cir. 1989) by issuing an order that conflicts with the holding of Holmes.

2 Did the Eleventh Circuit err by issuing a blanket denial that is in direct conflict with law by which the Court was bound, in light of GAINES V. HOPPER, 575 F.2d 1147 (5th Cir. 1978)

3 Whether the Eleventh Circuit has the authority to overrule or ignore all of the standards set forth in Supreme Court of case 542 (2000), which are the standards that a petitioner must meet in order to obtain a certificate of appealability.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Was the Eleventh Circuit overruled its own precedent of Holmes v. United States, 657 F.2d 1545 (11th Cir. 1981) by assuming an order that conflicts with the decision of Holmes?
