Sherman Johnson, Jr. v. United States
Did the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals have jurisdiction to deny or address the claims raised on Johnson's Title 28 U.S.C. § 2253 in his request for a Certificate of Appealability when the District Court did not address and/or deny the claims in the original title 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
II. Should a writ of certiorari be granted to determine if Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S. Ct. 2052 (1984) if the Eight Circuit erred in not granting a Certificate of Appealability, even though the record was inconclusive on the allegations.
III. Should a writ of certiorari be granted to determine if a Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) violation occurs when the government withholds a substantial number of exculpatory items that were crucial for the defense
