    Jermaine THOMPSON, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 3D12-1075.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 23, 2012.
    Jermaine Thompson, in proper person.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for respondent.
    Before SUAREZ and FERNANDEZ, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Jermaine Thompson petitions this Court for a writ of habeas corpus in which he alleges ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. We deny the petition as successive because Thompson raises an issue that he previously raised on direct appeal and this Court determined on the merits in Thompson v. State, 36 So.3d 109 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010). See Francois v. Wainwright, 470 So.2d 685 (Fla.1985); Hernandez v. State, 990 So.2d 1116 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008).

Petition denied.
