Whether a defendant who raises only a federal due process claim in state court proceedings has given state courts an opportunity to act on his claim per O'Sullivan v. Boerckel

Where the defendant raises a federal due process claim, and only a federal due process claim, in the State circuit court, the State appellate court, and in a petition requesting discretionary review by the State Supreme Court, has the defendant given the state courts an "opportunity to act on his claim" per O'Sullivan v. Boerckel , 526 Ul'S. 838 (1999)?1. 2. Where the state court orders and conducts an evidentiary hearing to adjudicate defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim, and decides the ineffective assistance of counsel claim (deficiency prong of Strickland ) based on the testimony of defendant and defendant's attorneys, has defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim been "adjudicated on the merits" or procedurally defaulted based on the pleadings? i
