DENIED.
          USCA11 Case: 20-11271      Date Filed: 12/10/2020   Page: 2 of 2

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.
