SANDY V. ALSTON,
Petitioner,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
_____________________________
Petition for Belated Appeal—Original Jurisdiction.
May 31, 2018
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner does not adequately explain why the grounds
raised in this successive petition for belated appeal were not
raised in his initial petition for belated appeal. The Court finds
that the failure to assert the grounds was an abuse of procedure.
Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. See Fla. R. App. P.
9.141(c)(6)(C).
LEWIS, MAKAR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
