Affirmed. See Baker v. State, 878 So. 2d 1236, 1241 (Fla. 2004) (reaffirming well-established principles that “habeas corpus may not be used as a substitute for an appropriate motion seeking postconviction relief. . . .

Nor can habeas corpus be used as a means to seek a second appeal or to litigate issues that could have been or were raised in a motion under rule 3.850”) (citation omitted) (quoting Harris v. State, 789 So. 2d 1114, 1115 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001)); Beiro v. State, 289 So. 3d 511, 511 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019) (noting: “The mere incantation of the words ‘manifest injustice’ does not make it so.”).
