Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David Nelmark, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (6 pages)
Joseph Wright appeals the summary dismissal of his third application for postconviction relief. OPINION HOLDS: Wright previously challenged the lack of preliminary hearing in his second postconviction action and may not relitigate the issue. As for his claim of actual innocence, it is undisputed the facts were known and available to him within the limitations period. We affirm the summary dismissal of the application.
