Opinion

SHARP, W., J.

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,¹ two counts of kidnapping,² and thirty-year terms for attempted armed robbery³ and burglary of a dwelling,⁴ and dealing in stolen property.⁵ These judgments and sentences were affirmed on September 8, 1993. Maddox also seeks to set aside his prior conviction which was used as a predicate offense in adjudicating him as an habitual offender (Case No. 88-4119). He previously filed two 3.850 motions and two 3.800(a) motions.

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.
