Gary initially appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court on direct appeal . which affirmed his convictions and sentences. Your Petitioner then timely presented his Post Conviction Collateral Relief Motion, specifically addressing his fundamental distress that which was afforded poor or no reasonable consideration at all. The state court declined to afford the Petitioner any redress of his fundamental issues of severe importance and yet rejected the consideration of the issues pursuant to the Mississippi procedural bars. , . 3.

The findings were not objectively reasonable under the circumstances when the state statute was allowed to close the ; window to any consideration of the issues. Adequacy in itself is a federal question of law that which your Petitioner respectfully prays warrants the permission to move forward with his writ. The adequacy of state procedural bars to the assertion of federal questions in state cases on federal review is not within a state’s prerogative finally to decide; rather, adequacy is itself a federal question. : 606 Cases that cite this headnote Ordinarily, violation of firmly established and regularly followed state rules will be adequate to . foreclose review of a federal claim in a state case; however, there are exceptional cases in which exorbitant application of a generally sound rule renders the state ground inadequate to stop consideration of a federal question. _
