Questions presented
- David E. Jackson, III, Petitioner v. Indiana Parole Board
- 1. Whether a court of appeals, in denying a certificate of appealability in a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 case dismissed on procedural grounds, may rely solely on the merits formula of § 2253(c)(2) without separately determining whether jurists of reason could debate the correctness of the procedural ruling — the two-step inquiiy required by Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473 (2000), and Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322 (2003). 2. Whether a federal habeas claim is "fairly presented," and any further state remedy "unavailable," for purposes of exhaustion and procedural default, when the petitioner raised all of his federal grounds through the State's only remaining vehicle — a discretionary successive-post-conviction gateway whose denial the State's highest court will not review.
- Zenia Chavez v. United States
- Whether an appeal waiver, that waives “the right to appeal the . . . sentence on any ground, including . . . term of supervision and conditions,” bars a claim that a written judgment conflicts with a sentencing judge’s oral pronouncement of the sentence imposed.
- Ruben Andre Garcia, Petitioner v. United States
- Under Chavez-Meza v. United States, 585 U.S. 109 (2018), can a district court ignore a party’s post-sentencing rehabilitation when deciding a sentence reduction motion under § 3582(c), as the Sixth and Eleventh Circuits have held, or must the court respond, as the Fourth and Fifth Circuits have held?
