Heading: Prohibition Against Jury Interviews

Text: Kilgore next alleges that his constitutional rights were violated by the rule that prohibits defense counsel from interviewing jurors to determine if constitutional error was present. This claim is procedurally barred. See Allen v. State, 854 So.2d 1255 (Fla.2003) (finding a challenge to the constitutionality of the rules governing juror interviews procedurally barred in postconviction proceedings). It is also without merit because this Court has repeatedly rejected claims that Rule Regulating the Florida Bar 4-3.5(d)(4) is unconstitutional. See Floyd v. State, 18 So.3d 432, 459 (Fla.2009). Accordingly, we deny relief on this claim.
