Question presented
The question for the Court is whether a circuit court errs as a matter of law and fact, and ignores this Court’s precedent, in failing to certify issues for appeal from a denied § 2255 motion, when the district court failed to liberally construe the filing, the district court’s ruling was debatable, and the ruling resulted in the substantive denial of the Petitioner’s constitutional rights to effective assistance and against unreasonable searches and seizures.
