Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David Porter, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Mullins, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (5 pages)
James Wright, Jr. appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his second application for postconviction relief (PCR), contending (1) the “second PCR action is, in fact, timely under Allison” v. State, 914 N.W.2d 866, 891 (Iowa 2018), and (2) the statute of limitations does not “apply to [the] second PCR action, as it involves newly discovered evidence.” OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the summary dismissal of Wright’s second PCR application.
