Heading: Alleged Incompetency

Text: Lynch claims that his eventual execution may be unconstitutional due to incompetency. However, he concedes that this claim is not ripe for review because the Governor has not issued his death warrant. Lynch responds that he is merely raising this issue for preservation purposes. We have repeatedly held that no relief is warranted under similar circumstances. See, e.g., Rogers v. State, 957 So.2d 538, 556 (Fla.2007) (concluding that capital-incompetency claim is not ripe for review where the Governor has not signed the defendant's death warrant); Morris v. State, 931 So.2d 821, 837 n. 15 (Fla.2006) (same); Sireci v. Moore, 825 So.2d 882, 888 (Fla. 2002) (same); see also Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.811-3.812. Thus, Lynch is not entitled to relief on this claim.
