Michael Weatherspoon appeals from the summary dismissal of his fifth postconviction-relief application, arguing “the district court committed an error of law” in summarily ruling that State v. Plain, 898 N.W.2d 801, 829 (Iowa 2017), did not apply retroactively. OPINION HOLDS: The postconviction court did not err in summarily dismissing Weatherspoon’s postconviction-relief application.
