“[a]s noted in Downs v. Wainwright, 476 So.2d 654, 657 (Fla. 1985), `[w]e have repeatedly held that appellate counsel cannot be considered ineffective for failing to raise issues which he was procedurally barred from raising because they were not properly raised at trial.' See also Ruffin v. Wainwright, 461 So.2d 109 (Fla. 1984).”
