         claim of ineffective asaiatance of trial counsel.

                In Martinez v.     !yan,   566     u.s.     1    (2012),     the   SUpreD~B       Court held that a

of trial    counsel    claim . is   in many vaya the equivalent of his direct appeal ·
u   to that claim, if · the State dou not appoint an attorney to assist the
indigent pr:isoner in the initial-review collateral proceeding, he is denied
fair proceea. and the opportunity to CIOlllply vith the State's procedures and
obtain an adjudication on the merits of hia claim, similar to inatances in
which no attorney ia .appointed to pursue the direct appeal or in which tbe
attorney appointed to puraue the direct appeal is ineffective.

      Subsequent         Martinez dllciaion, the SUpreme COUrt decided a Texas
                    to the
cue similar to that of Martinez with the same raeulta. See Trevino v .. Thaler, .
569 u.s. 1911 (2013). In Trevino~ the SUpreme COUrt c:oncluded that where,
as . in 'l'uos, the state procedural framawodt, by reason of ita design. and
operation, makea it highly unlikely in a typical case that a defendant will
have a meaningful opportunity to raise a claim of ineffective assistance
of trial couilsel Cl'l direct appeal, the Couc't 'e holding in· Martinez applies.
See also Ibarra v. Stephen!, 723 F.lcS 599 (5th Cir. 2013).

      Additionally, in     the       Martines and Trevino, the United Statee
                                  wake   of
Department of JUstice baa adopted a policy c:benge diecontinuing the practica
of enforcing any vai ver of a defendant •a dght to seek appellate review of.
a aubatantial claim of ineffective aseistance of counsel when the defendant
has entered . a plea of guilty, including those c:asea in which the guilty plea
!a entered in         u~e     for a puniehamt reccJillmllndation by the proaecutor.
