Darryl Brian Barwick v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Barwick's second successive postconviction motion, his motion for a stay of execution, and his public-records requests. It held that the expedited warrant proceedings did not deny due process, that Florida law provides no enforceable right to effective postconviction counsel, and that his age-based and mental-impairment-based categorical exemption claims were procedurally barred, untimely, and meritless. The court also held that Florida's constitutional conformity clause prevents it from extending federal categorical execution exemptions beyond their existing federal scope.
