United States Eleventh Circuit

Dismissal of indigent, death-sentenced inmates' civil rights action is affirmed as the Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments do not afford appointed counsel on postconviction collateral review, and the inmates have failed to identify a lessor form of state-provided legal assistance to which they might be entitled.
