Heading: Certificate of Appealability Granted in Part

Text: 27 Following the denial of his petition, Henderson moved in the district court for a certificate of appealability (COA). On January 29, 2002, the district court granted the COA as to Henderson's two arguments for cause: 28 A certificate of appealability is GRANTED as to petitioner's claim that the waiver of his right to proceed under Alabama Rule 32 was not knowing, voluntary, intelligent and that petitioner was unduly influenced by an attorney with a conflict of interest, in that petitioner has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. A certificate of appealability is DENIED as to all other claims raised by petitioner because he has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 29 Henderson then moved this Court to expand the certificate and to stay the briefing schedule pending consideration of that motion. This Court granted the motion to stay the briefing schedule and, in a later order, denied the motion for expansion of the certificate of appealability.
