Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, The Honorable Thomas A. Bitter, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Chicchelly, P.J., Langholz, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (4 pages)
Sean Michael Hilliard appeals the dismissal of his second postconviction relief application as time-barred. OPINION HOLDS: Because applying the three-year limitations period within Iowa Code section 822.3 (2024) does not offend due process, nor has Hilliard shown he was in fact precluded from timely bringing an ineffective-assistance claim against first PCR counsel, we affirm.
