Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jasper County, Charles C. Sinnard, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ.  Opinion by Buller, J.  (3 pages)

            The applicant appeals the denial of his postconviction relief application, asserting he sufficiently pled newly discovered evidence to bypass the statute of limitations.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the applicant pled only a generic allegation of newly discovered evidence, with no facts or specifics to support it, we affirm dismissal of the application.
