The following excerpt is from Cox v. Bunnell, 919 F.2d 144 (9th Cir. 1990):
Cox appears to complain about the state collateral review process. He argues that he was denied equal protection of the laws under the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution because he was treated differently from similarly situated defendants. Because Cox did not raise this issue in the lower courts, we may not reach it here. See Nevius v. Sumner, 852 F.2d 463, 470 (9th Cir.1988), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 109 S.Ct. 1972 (1989).
