Heading: Cumulative Error Claim

Text: In Bradley's fourth claim, he contends that trial counsel committed numerous errors amounting to ineffective assistance of counsel and to the extent that any one error might not warrant relief standing alone, the combined effect of the errors justifies relief. We disagree. Where, as here, the alleged errors urged for consideration in a cumulative error analysis are either meritless, procedurally barred, or do not meet the Strickland standard for ineffective assistance of counsel[,] ... the contention of cumulative error is similarly without merit. Israel v. State, 985 So.2d 510, 520 (Fla.2008); see also Lowe v. State, 2 So.3d 21, 33 (Fla.2008) (holding that where individual claims are either procedurally barred or without merit, the cumulative error claim must fail); Parker v. State, 904 So.2d 370, 380 (Fla.2005) (same). Bradley has failed to provide this Court with any basis for relief in any of his postconviction claims. Therefore, the cumulative error claim is without merit.
