MCDONALD, J.

Walter Junior Hoskins appeals the judgment of the district court dismissing

his application for postconviction relief. Hoskins was convicted of a felony

offense in 1997. Fifteen years later, in 2012, Hoskins filed an application for

postconviction relief. On the State’s motion, the district court dismissed Hoskins’

application as barred by the three-year statute of limitations set forth in Iowa

Code section 822.3 (2011). We find no error. The judgment of the district court

is affirmed. See Iowa Ct. R. 21.26(1)(a) and (e).

AFFIRMED.
