1Opinion of the Court
COLLOTON, Circuit Judge.
Ray Dansby was convicted by a jury in Arkansas on two counts of capital murder and sentenced to death. The district court denied his application for a writ of habeas corpus. Dansby appeals on five claims covered by a certifícate of appealability, and he asks this panel to expand the certificate with respect to four other claims. We affirm in part, vacate the dismissal of Claims II and III in Dansby’s second amended petition, deny the applications to expand the certificate, and remand for further proceedings.
