JORDAN, Circuit Judge, dissenting.
Based upon the standard articulated by the Supreme Court in cases like Buck
v. Davis,
137 S. Ct. 759, 773-75 (2017), I would grant Mr. Gavin’s motion for
reconsideration, and issue a COA on whether trial counsel rendered ineffective
assistance during the guilt phase.
