Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, George L. Stigler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (4 pages)
Keith Walker appeals the denial of his application for post-conviction relief. He alleges newly discovered evidence provides an exception to the Iowa Code section 822.3 (2019) bar on his claims. He also asks us to apply State v. Plain, 898 N.W.2d 801, 826 (Iowa 2017), retroactively. OPINION HOLDS: Walker failed to present newly discovered evidence. Accordingly, his claims are barred by section 822.3. Further, we cannot apply Plain retroactively. We affirm.
