Heading: Eighth AmendmentCompetency

Text: According to Floyd, the evidence adduced during the evidentiary hearing and discussed in the appeal from the postconviction proceeding demonstrates that Floyd has suffered impaired mental health since childhood. Floyd contends that his Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment will be violated because he may be incompetent at the time of his eventual execution. We have held that no relief is warranted under similar circumstances. See, e.g., Lynch, 2 So.3d at 85 ([A] capital-incompetency claim is not ripe for review where the Governor has not signed the defendant's death warrant. (citing Rogers v. State, 957 So.2d 538, 556 (Fla.2007); Morris v. State, 931 So.2d 821, 837 n. 15 (Fla.2006); Sireci v. Moore, 825 So.2d 882, 888 (Fla.2002))).
