Jimmy R. Davis v. United States
Immigration
I. Whether it is inconsistent with Slack v. McDaniel, 539 U.S. 413 (2008) for a Court of Appeals to have declined to issue Certificate of Appealability on a colorable claim of first impression concerning whether a district court's denial of equitable tolling of a habeas petitioner's statute of limitations when he has demonstrated prima facie extraordinary circumstances is in tension with Holland v. Florida, 560 U.S. 631 (2010) and several district and circuit court decisions that have decided similar claims affirmatively?
II. Whether courts of appeals lack jurisdiction over an appeal in Rule 4(a)(4) motion where a prose appellant does not file a separate or amended notice of appeal following the denial of his motion, but instead proceeds under the presumption that a pre-decision notice of appeal filed before a decision on the Rule 4(a)(4) motion is deemed presents combined issues for cert?

Florida, 560 U.S. 631 (2010) and several district and circuit court decisions that have decided similar claims adversely
