James Glenn Patterson, Petitioner(s) v. Secretary, Department of Corrections, Respondent(s)
Lower Tribunal No(s).: 171993CF000507XXXAXX
To the extent Petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus, 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 Petitioner seeks mandamus relief, the petition is denied pursuant to Huffman v. State, 813 So.2d 10, 11(Fla. 2000). No motion for rehearing will be considered by this Court.
LABARGA, COURIEL, GROSSHANS, FRANCIS, and SASSO, JJ., concur.
