                           Exzavier Robinson,
                                  Petitioner,

                                      vs.

                           The State of Florida,
                                 Respondent.

      A Case of Original Jurisdiction – Habeas Corpus.

      Exzavier Robinson, in proper person.

    Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Linda Katz, Assistant Attorney
General, for respondent.

Before FERNANDEZ, LINDSEY, and MILLER, JJ.

      PER CURIAM.

      Petitioner, Exzavier Robinson, seeks relief in habeas corpus from his

first-degree felony murder conviction. In his petition, he alleges his appellate
counsel was constitutionally ineffective for failing to raise his trial counsel’s

ineffectiveness on direct appeal. His claim rests on the contention that his

trial counsel was deficient for failing to argue that he was, at best, an

accessory after the fact to the robbery underlying his felony murder

conviction. See § 777.03, Fla. Stat. (2017). Robinson raised this claim in

the trial court, and it was squarely rejected. We affirmed that decision on

appeal. See Robinson v. State, No. 3D23-0732, 2023 WL 5425345, at *1

(Fla. 3d DCA Aug. 23, 2023). Accordingly, the petition provides no basis for

relief. See Swafford v. Dugger, 569 So. 2d 1264, 1268 (Fla. 1990); Hardwick

v. Dugger, 648 So. 2d 100, 106–07 (Fla. 1994); Rutherford v. Moore, 774

So. 2d 637, 647, 649 (Fla. 2000).

      Petition denied.
