The above cases are hereby consolidated on the Court's own motion.
The petitions for writ of mandamus are hereby denied as procedurally barred. A petition for extraordinary relief is not a second appeal and cannot be used to litigate or relitigate issues which were or could have been raised on direct appeal or in prior postconviction proceedings. See Denson v. State, 775 So. 2d 288, 289 (Fla. 2000); Breedlove v. Singletary, 595 So. 2d 8, 10 (Fla. 1992); Mills v. Dugger, 574 So. 2d 63, 65 (Fla. 1990); see generally Topps v.
