RANDOLPH BAGGETT Petitioner(s) v. MARK S. INCH, ETC. Respondent(s)
Lower Tribunal No(s).: 131983CF0093970001XX
The petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. See Kokal v. State, 901 So.2d 766 (Fla. 2005) (noting that since there is no constitutional right to representation in postconviction proceedings, ineffective assistance of postconviction counsel claims are not cognizable); Denson v. State, 775 So.2d 288, 290 (Fla. 2000), and Breedlove v. Singletary, 595 So.2d 8, 10 (Fla. 1992) (stating that 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 post-conviction proceedings); Jenkins v. Wainwright, 322 So.2d 477 (Fla. 1975) (holding that once a petitioner seeks relief in a particular court by means of a petition for extraordinary writ, he has picked his forum and is not entitled to a second or third opportunity for the same relief by the same writ in a different court). No motion for rehearing will be entertained.POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, COURIEL, and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.
