ORDER

The Court finds that Movant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, as is required before a certificate of appealability can issue. See Cox v. Norris, 133 F.3d 565, 569 (8th Cir. 1997) (explaining that a "substantial showing" is a showing that the "issues are debatable among reasonable jurists, a court could resolve the issues differently, or the issues deserve further proceedings"). Therefore, the Court will issue a certificate of appealability as to the claim the trial court erred in admitting evidence of Petitioner's interview with law enforcement. The Court will not issue a certificate of appealability as to Petitioner's claim his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to question his father and stepbrother about his father's practice of physically disciplining his children.
