SUMMARY

The term "procedural grounds" refers to legal reasons based on the processes and procedures followed in a court case rather than the substantive issues of the case itself. In the discussion, Max Butler's appeal was denied on procedural grounds because his defense attorney failed to raise a critical issue in an earlier appeal. This highlights the importance of adhering to procedural rules in legal contexts, as failure to do so can result in the dismissal of appeals regardless of the merits of the case.
