Question presented
.., ... The questions presented are: Was Mr. Murry denied his Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel and Fourteenth Amendment Due Process? [When his pro se briefing brought to the Court of Appeals' attention "legal points" arguable on their merits and the Court ordered that these should be briefed by the State only; while simultaneously refusing to allow Petit ioner's counsel to also file supplemental briefing on the pro se issues.] When determining how a court of appeals is required to handle "legal points" which come to its attention by means other than an appellant's counsel; does it matter whether appointed counsel filed an Anders brief or a merits brief, prior to pro se issues arguable on their merits being raised by an appellant? !
