Opinion
Case No. 04-C-303.
August 28, 2007
DECISION AND ORDER
On March 27, 2007, the Court denied James Darius Jones's ("Jones") petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Jones subsequently filed a request for a certificate of appealability ("COA"). In order to obtain a COA, Jones must show that reasonable jurors could debate whether the Court should have resolved his petition differently. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 335 (2003). Jones seeks to raise four grounds in his appeal, all of which allege ineffective assistance of his trial and appellate attorneys. The Court will grant Jones a COA permitting him to raise those four grounds on appeal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BASED ON THE FOREGOING, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT
Jones's Request for a Certificate of Appealability (Docket No. 33) is GRANTED.
