Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether Petitioner's enhanced sentence based on a retroactively erased felony violates Due Process of Law, and the denial of a Certificate of Appealability (COA) reflects a flawed in the COA review process and raises a pressing matter of national importance.

Does two Court disagreeing, warrant the issuance of a writ of certiorari to resolve unduly burdensome COA standards that contravenes this Court's precedents, and is deeply arbitrary; and does the downgrading of prior felony sentencing invalidate the prior and present resentencing under due process and the Eighth Amendment?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the retroactive erasure of felony convictions violates due process and the denial of a Certificate of Appealability reflects a breakdown in the COA review process and raises a pressing matter of national importance
