ERNEST MARQUIS FLOWERS Petitioner(s) v. RICKY D. DIXON, ETC. Respondent(s)
Lower Tribunal No(s).: 132002CF015545C000XX
Petitioner has filed a "Petition to Have Petitioner's Sentence of Natural Life Converted to a Sentence of Death," which this Court has treated as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The petition for writ of habeas corpus 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). No motion for rehearing will be entertained by this Court.
CANADY, POLSTON, LABARGA, COURIEL, and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.
