Heading: successive petition for habeas corpus

Text: Most of King's habeas claims are procedurally barred in this successive habeas corpus petition as those claims should have been raised previously. See Johnson v. Singletary, 647 So.2d 106, 109 (Fla.1994) (Successive habeas corpus petitions seeking the same relief are not permitted nor can new claims be raised in a second petition when the circumstances upon which they are based were known or should have been known at the time the prior petition was filed.). [9] Claims seven and nine are procedurally barred as they were raised in King's most recent 3.850 motion and are not properly relitigated in this habeas petition. See Parker v. Dugger, 550 So.2d 459, 460 (Fla.1989) ([H]abeas corpus petitions are not to be used for additional appeals on questions which ... were raised ... in a rule 3.850 motion....). Claim ten, regarding King's extended stay on death row, is meritless. See Rose v. State, 787 So.2d 786, 805 (Fla.2001) (denying same claim for inmate on death row longer than King), petition for cert. filed, No. 01-7229 (U.S. Oct. 31, 2000); Knight v. State, 746 So.2d 423, 437 (Fla.1998) (time on death row more than twenty years), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 990, 120 S.Ct. 459, 145 L.Ed.2d 370 (1999). Claim eleven, regarding challenges to Florida's clemency process, likewise is meritless. See Provenzano v. State, 739 So.2d 1150, 1155 (Fla.1999); see also Glock v. Moore, 776 So.2d 243, 252-53 (Fla.2001). Therefore, we deny King's successive habeas corpus petition.
