of a COA. Accordingly, we DENY “Petitioner’s Letter Request to File Rehearing En Banc Out of Time” as moot. We GRANT a COA for issue (1) that a juror was biased and trial and appellate counsel were ineffective for failing to raise the issue. We affirm the DENIAL of a COA as to all remaining issues. The clerk is directed to issue a briefing notice.
