---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
14-8035 | 5th Cir. | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | OT 2014 |
Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is counsel to the petitioner in this case.
Issue: (1) Whether it is error to deny a habeas petitioner a certificate of appealability in a case in which the state supreme court was divided and another federal court of appeals would recognize his claim; and (2) whether the fact that the prosecutor did not expand the sentence to which the defendant was exposed prohibits a finding of prosecutorial vindictiveness.

Check out the latest Relist Watch from @johnpelwood.
TEN new relists -- including 6 involving Pres.
