Alvis L. Churchwell, Petitioner(s) v. Ricky D. Dixon, etc., Respondent(s)
Lower Tribunal No(s).: 2D14-1837; 362013CF015453000ACH
Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. To the extent Petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus, the petition is hereby denied as procedurally barred. A petition for extraordinary relief is not a second appeal and cannot be used to litigate or relitigate issues that were or could have been raised on direct appeal or in prior postconviction proceedings. See Denson v. State, 775 So.2d 288, 290 (Fla. 2000); Breedlove v. Singletary, 595 So.2d 8, 10 (Fla. 1992). To the extent Petitioner seeks review of the Second District Court of Appeal's decision in case number 2D14-1837, the petition is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Grate v. State, 750 So.2d 625 (Fla. 1999). No motion for rehearing will be entertained by this Court.
