TIMOTHY L. MOORE Petitioner(s) v. JULIE L. JONES, ETC. Respondent(s)
Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. To the extent the petition seeks to challenge Petitioner's criminal conviction and sentence, it 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 the petition seeks other relief, it is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b), Fla. Const. No rehearing will be entertained by this Court.
