Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, James N. Daane, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Badding, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (6 pages)
Walter Mead appeals the dismissal of his application for postconviction relief (PCR). OPINION HOLDS: Because Mead’s PCR application was filed more than three years after his conviction was final and he asserted no ground of fact material to his substantive claim that could not have been presented within the three-year time frame, see Iowa Code § 822.3 (2022), we affirm.
