Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Is it a grievous wrong when the lower federal courts demonstrably misread
and reshape a habeas corpus claim?

2. Is it time for the U.S. Supreme Court to say what cause and prejudice is?

3. Did the denial of counsel at a critical stage actual prejudice that infect the
entire trial with errors of constitutional dimensions?

4. Are the circumstances in Questions 1 to 3 above extraordinary to justify relief
under Rule 60(b)?

5. Would it be inequitable if the decisions of the lower federal courts are allowed
to stand?
