Leone v. State

Full title: RICHARD LEONE, PETITIONER, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, RESPONDENT

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District

Date published: Jul 21, 1995

657 So. 2d 26 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1995)

Opinion

No. 95-965.

June 9, 1995. Rehearing Denied July 21, 1995.

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Richard Leone, Raiford, pro se.

No appearance for respondent.

W. SHARP, Judge.

We deny Leone's petition for writ of habeas corpus. This petition is an abuse of process. Leone has filed three prior appeals pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850,¹ one previous petition for writ of error coram nobis,² and one other petition for writ of habeas corpus for a belated appeal.³ Aside from the fact that Leone's arguments in this proceeding have little or no merit, they could and should have been raised either on direct appeal or encompassed in Leone's first rule 3.850 motion. Hardwick v. Dugger, 648 So.2d 100 (Fla. 1994). Enough surely is enough. See Isley v. State, 652 So.2d 409 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995).
