Dale A. Williams Jr., pro se, Petitioner.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Per Curiam.

Having failed to demonstrate manifest injustice, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed as unauthorized. See Baker v. State , 878 So. 2d 1236, 1245 (Fla. 2004) (explaining that "[t]he remedy of habeas corpus is not available in Florida to obtain the kind of collateral postconviction relief available by motion in the sentencing court pursuant to rule 3.850"); Mills v. Dugger , 574 So. 2d 63, 65 (Fla. 1990) ("As we have stated numerous times, habeas corpus is not to be used for obtaining additional appeals of issues which were raised, or should have been raised, on direct appeal or which were waived at trial or which could have, should have, or have been, raised in prior postconviction filings." (internal marks omitted)).

Ray, C.J., and Lewis and Jay, JJ., concur.
