Question presented
Whether petitioner was entitled to a certificate of appealability in the lower courts on his second collateral attack under 28 U.S.C. 2255, when he was unable to obtain relief under controlling law due to his inability to show that it was more likely than not that he was convicted under the residual clause of 18 U.S.C. 924(c), which was invalidated in United States v. Davis, 588 U.S. 445 (2019), as opposed to Section 924(c)’s still-valid elements clause?
