LORENZO BROOKS Petitioner(s) v. TIMOTHY H. CANNON, ETC. Respondent(s)


Lower Tribunal No(s).: 481990CF005640000AOX

The petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus with the Court. To the extent the petitioner seeks review of the district court's decision in Brooks v. State, 654 So. 2d 1174 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995), the petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Grate v. State, 750 So. 2d 625 (Fla. 1999). To the extent the petitioner seeks the type of relief available in a motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), the petition is 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 the petitioner seeks additional relief, the petition is denied. No rehearing will be entertained by this Court. PARIENTE, LEWIS, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. A True Copy
