Scott Drake Clabourne v. Arizona

I Whether Arizona has ignored the Strickland prejudice prong in defaulting Mr. Clabourne’s sentencing IAC claim by requiring counsel to have filed a PCR petition before the prejudice was evident, during the pendency of Martinez litigation and in the face of a previous dismissal of PCR litigation with prejudice in the trial court. II Whether Arizona’s inconsistent application of its procedural default rules to successive PCR claims due to their simultaneous litigation in federal courts will render this procedural default inadequate to bar federal habeas review. III Whether Arizona’s creation of a non-discretionary right of review of IAC claims followed by Arizona’s appointment of inexperienced PCR counsel who provided concededly deficient representation was arbitrary and denied Mr. Clabourne Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection under Douglas v. California.
