Earle T. BRUCE, Petitioner(s) v. Julie L. JONES, etc., Respondent(s).


Opinion

To the extent that petitioner seeks review of his sentence, the petition for writ of habeas corpus 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 that petitioner seeks review of the decision in Bruce v. State, 988 So.2d 715, 716–17 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008), the petition is hereby denied. No motion for rehearing or clarification will be entertained.

LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
