Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Steven Andreasen, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Telleen, S.J.  Opinion by Badding, J.  (4 pages)

            Juan Ledesma appeals the district court’s order dismissing his fifth application for postconviction relief.  OPINION HOLDS: Because Ledesma failed to preserve his challenge to the constitutionality of Iowa Code section 822.3 (2023), we affirm the dismissal of his application as untimely.  We also agree with the district court that Ledesma failed to assert any substantive claim for postconviction relief.
