Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Christopher Kemp, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (5 pages)

            Tyrone Bryson appeals the dismissal of his application for postconviction relief from his 1999 convictions and the sanctions imposed by the court.  OPINION HOLDS: Substantial evidence supports the district court’s determination that Bryson’s claim is frivolous, and the court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a penalty for loss of thirty days earned time credit.  Bryson failed to preserve error on his claim that the district court improperly took judicial notice of outside pleadings.  We affirm.
