Opinion

Case No. SC05-636.

August 9, 2005.


The petition for writ of habeas corpus is hereby denied. See Jenkins v. Wainwright, 322 So. 2d 477, 478 (Fla. 1975) (declaring 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). See also Breedlove v. Singletary, 595 So. 2d 8, 10 (Fla. 1992) (holding that a petition for extraordinary relief is not a second appeal and cannot be used to re-litigate issues that have been raised on appeal or in prior postconviction proceedings).

WELLS, ANSTEAD, QUINCE, CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur.
