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.
