Claim:
1. A latch, comprising: a claw rotatably mounted to the latch for movement between a latched position and an unlatched position; a primary pawl configured to engage the claw when the claw is in the latched position so that the claw is retained in the latched position and disengage the claw so that the claw can rotate to the unlatched position from the latched position; an inner lever movably mounted to the latch for movement between a first position of the inner lever and a second position of the inner lever, wherein the inner lever prevents the primary pawl from engaging the claw when the inner lever is in the second position; a secondary pawl rotatable between a first position of the secondary pawl and a second position of the secondary pawl, wherein movement of the inner lever from the first position of the inner lever to the second position of the inner lever is prevented by the secondary pawl when the secondary pawl is in the first position of the secondary pawl and wherein movement of the inner lever from the second position of the inner lever to the first position of the inner lever is prevented when the secondary pawl is in the second position of the secondary pawl; a handle operatively connected to the secondary pawl, wherein movement of the handle causes the secondary pawl to rotate between its first and second positions; a motor operatively coupled to the primary pawl, wherein actuation of the motor causes the primary pawl to disengage the claw so that the claw can rotate to the unlatched position from the latched position; and a blocking lever movable between a first position of the blocking lever, wherein the blocking lever allows the inner lever to move from the first position of the inner lever to the second position of the inner lever and a second position of the blocking lever, wherein the blocking lever contacts a portion of the inner lever when the inner lever is in the second position and prevents movement of the inner lever from the second position of the inner lever to the first position of the inner lever, wherein movement of the secondary pawl from the first position of the secondary pawl to the second position of the secondary pawl causes movement of the blocking lever from the first position of the blocking lever to the second position of the blocking lever.
