Jessie Ramirez,
Petitioner,
vs.
State of Florida ,
Respondent.
A Case of Original Jurisdiction – Habeas Corpus.
Jessie Ramirez, in proper person.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, for respondent.
Before FERNANDEZ, LINDSEY, and GOODEN, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner Jessie Ramirez seeks a writ of habeas corpus attacking his
1987 convictions for first degree murder and kidnapping. 	He asserts that a

2
complete record on appeal, which included transcripts from all hearings and
trial proceedings, was not submitted on his direct appeal. 	Because this
argument is procedurally barred and without merit, we deny the petition. See
Thompson v. State, 759 So. 2d 650, 660 (Fla. 2000) (“Thompson contends
that this Court was not provided with an adequate record during the direct
appeal because some pretrial hearings and bench conferences were not
transcribed and included in the appellate record. 	Because Thompson did
not raise any inadequacy in the appellate record during direct appeal, his
postconviction claim on this basis is procedurally barred.”); see also Barwick
v. State, 88 So. 3d 85, 108 (Fla. 2011) (“Similarly, because Barwick has
failed to specifically identify any errors that occurred as a result of the alleged
omissions in the record, we deny this claim.”); Henry v. State, 937 So. 2d
563, 577 (Fla. 2006) (“Therefore, without any specificity as to how Henry has
been prejudiced by the omissions in the record, denial of this claim is
warranted under the applicable law.”); Pardo v. State, 941 So. 2d 1057, 1073
(Fla. 2006) (“He is not entitled to relief because he has not identified any
errors 	occurring 	during 	the 	proceedings 	that 	were 	not 	transcribed.”).
Petition denied.
