Sims v. Houston
Petition for certiorari denied on June 3, 2013

Ryan have any application in a jurisdiction which, under the facts of petitioner’s case, mandates that claims of ineffective assistance of counsel be raised in the course of direct appellate review; and (2) if so, does this Court’s opinion in Martinez represent an “extraordinary circumstance” which might entitle a movant to relief under Rule 60(b)(6)?
