Question Presented (from Petition)
Can a state provide a rational basis to deny a death row prisoner his right to the state's first collateral, conviction, review process, where the prisoner wanted, and diligently pursued, his right to such collateral review, but he was denied collateral review due to counsel's abandonement, and the trial court's failure to manage its docket?
