Matthew Rausenberg v. Don Langford, Warden
Whether reasonable jurists could debate the issue of custody for Miranda purposes, as various state and federal courts have, when an individual has been detained, held incommunicado in a police dominated atmosphere, and interrogated without receiving Miranda warnings?
Whether under the totality of circumstances approach, all relevant circumstances should be considered in the custody analysis, including specific statements from interrogators that a defendant is not allowed to call anybody for help?
Whether a state habeas petitioner may satisfy his burden under 28 U.S.C. 2253(c)(2) of making a substantial showing of a constitutional right for the issuance of a certificate of appealability by pointing to multiple rulings from other federal courts that have resolved the same claim "in a different manner " than the district court did in his case upon similar facts?
