Maddox v. State
Maddox v. State
Opinion of the Court
By petition filed in this court, Maddox seeks further review of his convictions in Volusia County Circuit Court Case Nos. 91-5396, 92-31295 and 92-31210, which were based on guilty pleas. They resulted in his being adjudicated as an habitual offender and sentenced to life for second degree murder with a firearm,
The current petition is successive and improper. Maddox is seeking to challenge his habitual offender sentences and a prior conviction on grounds which either were raised or should have been raised on appeal or in his prior post-conviction motions. Further, this petition is an attempt to bypass the trial court and raise post-conviction claims directly in the appellate court. It is thus an inappropriate remedy and an abuse of procedure. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
Petition to Invoke All Writs' Jurisdiction DISMISSED.
