Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, John Telleen, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Potterfield, S.J. (6 pages)
George Prentiss III appeals the summary dismissal of his fifth application for postconviction relief (PCR) following his 2002 convictions for first-degree murder and first-degree robbery. He argues summary disposition was not appropriate because he created a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether his application contained newly-discovered evidence that would except it from the three-year time-bar. OPINION HOLDS: Because Prentiss failed to raise a new ground of fact that allows him to avoid the statute of limitations, his fifth PCR application is time-barred and summary disposition was appropriate.
