United States Seventh Circuit

Where both constitutional and procedural issues were certified for appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sec. 2253(c), but on appeal the defendant ignored the constitutional issues and briefed only the antecedent statutory question of timeliness, he waived the constitutional claims on which his Certificate of Appealability was predicated and which would entitle him to habeas relief.
