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 โ[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 3.850โ); Mills v. Dugger, 574 So.
2d 63, 65 (Fla. 1990) (โAs 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.โ (internal marks
omitted)).
