Davis v. Ducart
Petition for certiorari denied on May 4, 2020
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit’s unreasoned denial of a certificate of appealability because William Davis failed to support his claim
with the opinion of an expert so clearly misapplied
Buck v. Davis’ modest standard as to call for summary reversal.
