Heading: Failure of Appellate Counsel to Appeal the Denial of Bradley's Motions to Suppress his Cell Phone Records and his Statements to Law Enforcement

Text: Bradley also claims his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to challenge the denial of two motions to suppress. He asserts that his cell phone records and certain unspecified statements made at his house on January 22, 1996, were illegally obtained. Trial counsel moved to suppress the items, but the motions were denied and appellate counsel did not raise them on appeal. However, Bradley does not set forth any grounds to support his allegation that these records were illegally obtained. He further fails to identify the records, other than referring to them as the flip-phone records. Bradley also fails to identify the statements that he contends should have been challenged on appeal. Finally, other than making a general assertion that admission of the unspecified statements violated his Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, Bradley fails to set forth any argument explaining why these records were allegedly illegally obtained or how their admission violated his rights. Accordingly, we conclude that Bradley has again failed to provide any basis upon which this Court might grant him habeas relief. As with his first habeas claim, because his presentation of the issues is legally insufficient, this claim is also denied as waived. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of habeas corpus.
