GERNARD D. CHESTNUT Petitioner(s) v. RICKY D. DIXON, ETC. Respondent(s)


Lower Tribunal No(s).: 372010CF000410AXXXXX

To the extent the petitioner seeks habeas relief, 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 the petitioner seeks additional relief, the petition is also denied. See Jones v. Fla. Parole Comm'n, 48 So.3d 704, 710 (Fla. 2010); Sneed v. Mayo, 69 So.2d 653, 654 (Fla. 1954). No motion for rehearing or reinstatement will be entertained by this Court.

CANADY, POLSTON, LABARGA, COURIEL, and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.
