JOSE ANTONIO JIMENEZ Appellant(s) v. STATE OF FLORIDA Appellee(s)
Lower Tribunal No(s).: 131992CF0341560001XX
Appellant, a prisoner under sentence of death, appeals the circuit court's summary denial of a successive motion for postconviction relief. We affirm. Neither Trevino v. Thaler, 133 S. Ct. 1911 (2013), nor Martinez v. Ryan, 132 S. Ct. 1309 (2012), grants Florida criminal defendants the right to challenge the effectiveness of trial counsel or present Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), challenges in successive state postconviction proceedings based upon a claim of ineffective assistance of initial collateral counsel. See generally Howell v. State, 109 So. 3d 763, 774 (Fla. 2013); Zakrzewski v. State, 2014 WL 2810560, at *1 (Fla. June 20, 2014) (table opinion). LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. A True Copy
