Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus raises claims that, if properly treated as a motion for postconviction relief, are untimely and successive, and is therefore frivolous and an abuse of the postconviction process. We affirm the lower court’s denial of the motion, and we direct the Clerk to forward a certified copy of this opinion to the Department of Corrections for potential disciplinary action against Appellant. See Ponton v. Willis, 172 So. 3d 574, 576-77 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).

AFFIRMED.

B.L. THOMAS, ROWE, and OSTERHAUS, JJ., concur. _____________________________

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________
