Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether a Certificate of Appealability ("COA") should have been issued because I was denied a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel when trial counsel withheld from me that there was only 1 alleged victim out of hundreds in discovery that claimed I did not provide all the services that I billed Medicare to (denied and lied to about discovery which to date I have not received).

Whether Counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel to promised me probation or community service, if I went to trial and if I went to trial I would go to prison, which was a lie. I pled guilty and went to prison for 10 months and Sentence to a restitution of $2.5 million, which I had to pay for services performed, not just one, for Medicare services I provided for over 3 years. I should be granted a Certificate of Appealability as I would have chosen to go to trial as I was denied a constitutional right (5th Amendment and 6th Amendment) to effective counsel.

Since December 2023 I still have not received my discovery and cannot access it as Withheld by the United States, District Court of the Central District of California Case, which is a Violation of my constitutional rights Fifth Amendment.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a Certificate of Appealability (COA) should have been issued due to ineffective assistance of counsel and denial of constitutional rights related to Medicare billing discovery and sentencing
