Leon Davis, Jr. v. State of Florida & Leon Davis, Jr. v. Ricky D. Dixon

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Davis's initial postconviction motion after concluding that none of his ineffective-assistance, cumulative-error, or competency claims warranted relief. The court held that Davis failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice, and that the record did not provide reasonable grounds for a competency examination. The court also denied habeas relief because Davis's ineffective-assistance-of-appellate-counsel claim improperly repackaged claims already raised in postconviction proceedings and was procedurally barred.
