Whether the district court correctly concluded that, based on Texas precedent and trial evidence, the failure of Schaetzle’s appellate counsel to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the retaliation conviction constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. (David Schaetzle, April 9, 2003)*

Whether Mitchell was denied effective assistance of counsel on appeal by counsel’s grossly inadequate appellate brief, which failed to raise meritorious issues likely to result in reversal on appeal. (James B. Mitchell, September 23, 1996 )*
