Before EMAS, C.J., and LOGUE and SCALES, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Carlos Villavicencio petitions this Court to issue a writ of habeas corpus, claiming various grounds of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Acknowledging that the grounds raised in the instant petition – including trial counsel's alleged failures to file a motion for discharge under the speedy trial rule, to investigate fully the case and to call certain witnesses at trial – are successive, Villavicencio argues that relief is necessary to correct a manifest injustice. We deny the petition. To the extent that Villavicencio also seeks appellate review of the trial court's May 24, 2019 order denying Villavicencio's May 13, 2019 Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 postconviction motion, we affirm.
