Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Eighth Circuit erred in denying the petitioner a certificate of appealability when the petitioner showed that reasonable jurists could debate whether, pursuant to Borden v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1817 (2021) and United States v. Frazier, 948 F.3d 85 (2d Cir. 2020), his convictions for intimidation with a dangerous weapon in violation of Iowa Code § 708.6 did not qualify as a violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act, and he was actually innocent of an armed career offender sentence
