Questions presented

Whether a defendant is denied due process and access to the court when appointed postconviction counsel refuses to adopt a meritorious claim and Florida courts render any pro se action a nullity, resulting in the forfeiture of the claim.
Whether the state court's failure to address a procedurally defaulted claim under the manifest injustice exception before denying it as untimely results in a miscarriage of justice— denying a defendant due process of law. / !
