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).
