Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Buena Vista County, Carl J. Petersen, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and May, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (4 pages)
Ronald Taylor appeals the dismissal of his fourth application for postconviction relief (PCR), asserting it was timely under Allison v. State, 914 N.W.2d 866 (Iowa 2018), and raising allegations of ineffective assistance from trial, appellate, and PCR counsel. OPINION HOLDS: Under Iowa Code section 822.3 (2020), Taylor’s appeal is untimely. And because this is Taylor’s fourth PCR application, Allison would not apply. So Taylor’s application is untimely, and we affirm the dismissal.
