Date Filed Document Text
June 4, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER: The district court granted Angus Toney a certificate of appealability regarding the denial of his petition under 28 U.S.C. 2254. The constitutional issue identified by the district court is whether the deficient performance by Toneys counsel at his sentencing hearing prejudiced him, such that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. After reviewing the district courts order and the record on appeal, we conclude that the court would benefit from counseled briefing and oral argument. See FED. R. APP. P. 34(a)(2)(C). We therefore sua sponte appoint counsel for the appellant under the Criminal Justice Act. An order designating counsel and setting a briefing schedule will follow.
