In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

[EX Q]: showing he was denied a constitutional right. Because Weaver’s application for a COA raises several claims, it is impossible to glean from the present record which issue(s) the district court thought worthy of appeal. Cf. Murray, 145 F.3d at 1250-51 (determining that while court of appeals could not decide issue not specified in COA, it could “construe the issue specification in light of the pleadings and other parts of the record”). Therefore we must remand the record for the district court to specify the issue or issues for appeal. See Muniz v. Johnson, 114 F.3d 43, 46 (5th Cir.1997); Lyons v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth., 105 F.3d 1063, 1076 (6th Cir.1997); Hunter v. United States, 101 F.3d 1565, 1584 (11th Cir.1996); but cf. Tiedeman v. Benson, 122 F.3d 518, 522 (8th Cir.1997) (<HOLDING>).

[EX Q]: erred in denying without a hearing his claim that trial counsel were ineffective because they “were under a conflict of interest in this case because counsels’ interest in spending the minimum amount of time on a case for which they were receiving no money conflicted with [Movant’s] desire that his case be fully litigated and investigated.... ” The State counters that the trial court did not clearly err in denying this claim because Movant failed to plead facts not refuted by the record demonstrating an actual conflict. To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on a conflict of interest, a movant must show that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected counsel’s performance. Conger v. State, 356 S.W.3d 217, 221 (Mo.App.E.D. 2011) (quotation omitted) (<HOLDING>). “In order to prove a conflict of interest,

[EX Q]: as corroboration of the testimony of a covert witness; each case must be judged on its own facts. Id. The tends-to-connect standard does not present a high threshold. See id. (citing In re C.M.G., 905 S.W.2d 56, 58 (Tex.App.-Austin 1995, no writ)). The corroborating evidence does not, by itself, have to establish the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt, but it does have to tend to connect the defendant with the offense. McDuff, 939 S.W.2d at 613; Brown, 159 S.W.3d at 711; Torres, 137 S.W.3d at 196. Evidence that merely provides corroboration of “details” of the accomplice's testimony is not sufficient if it does not corroborate a fact that tends to connect the defendant to the offe , at *2 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth May 27, 2004, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication) (<HOLDING>); Leal v. State, No. 05-03-00281-CR, 2004 WL
