Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Steven J. Andreasen, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered by Badding, P.J., Buller, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (4 pages)
Samuel Wright appeals the summary denial of his second postconviction relief application. OPINION HOLDS: Because Wright’s pro se notice of appeal while represented by an attorney was a nullity, and a delayed appeal is not available in postconviction proceedings, see Jones v. State, 981 N.W.2d 141, 143 (Iowa 2022), we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
