I. Supreme Court Rule 10(a)—Whether the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals has departed from the accepted and usual course of postconviction proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, or sanctioned such a
departure by a lower court, as to call for an exercise of this Court's supervisory power, when:

A. The court failed to give Petitioner's verified
§ 2255 motion proper consideration as the
functional equivalent of an affidavit;

B. The court determined the credibility of witnesses solely from affidavits which contained
disputed questions of material fact; and

C. The court failed to grant a hearing pursuant
to § 2255(b) for Petitioner's claims which are
not conclusively refuted by the record.

II. Supreme Court Rule 10(c)—Whether the decision of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals conflicts
with and/or grossly misapplies this Court's decision in Lee v. United States, 582 U.S. 357 (2017),
where:

A. The decision assigns Petitioner an evidentiary
burden to provide "contemporaneous evidence" in support of his assertion that he
would not have entered the plea but for counsel's deficient performance;

B. The decision inherently requires "contemporaneous evidence" to be fully and sufficiently
pled within the § 2255 motion; and

C. The decision failed to afford Petitioner a hearing to present evidence in support of his
claims and then summarily denied those
claims for failing to support them with "contemporaneous evidence."
