MCNEIL, etc., Respondent. [July 1, 2010] PER CURIAM. This case is before the Court on appeal from an order denying the successive postconviction motion of Dolan Darling (a/k/a Sean Smith) filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851. Through this motion, Darling

challenges the constitutionality of lethal injection as administered in Florida and the constitutionality of sections 945.10 and 27.702, Florida Statutes (2007). Darling also requests this Court to recede from those portions of our prior decisions that have interpreted chapter 27, Florida Statutes, and held that Capital Collateral Regional Counsel (CCRC) attorneys cannot assist capital defendants in challenging the State`s intended method of execution under 42 U.S.C.
