VELAZQUEZ RAMIREZ v. STATE (2025)

Esteban Velazquez-Ramirez was convicted of first-degree murder in 2004. He filed this action—his third application for postconviction relief—in 2023. He made no substantive claim for postconviction relief. He claimed only that he is entitled to file a postconviction-relief action outside the three-year statute of limitation provided for in Iowa Code section 822.3 (2023) because New York State Rifle and Pistol Ass'n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022) provides a new ground of law exempting his application from time bar found in section 822.3. The district court found Bruen did not apply and dismissed Velazquez-Ramirez's application. He appeals.

AFFIRMED.
