“[f]ederal courts will not review a state court decision that rests on 'independent and adequate state procedural grounds.' " Barnett v. Roper , 541 F.3d 804 , 808 (8th Cir. 2008) (quoting Coleman v. Thompson , 501 U.S. 722 , 729-30, 111 S.Ct. 2546 , 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991) ). Specifically, we concluded "that Missouri's procedural rule is firmly established and regularly applied and constitutes an independent and adequate ground that bars our review of Barnett's claims”
