Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ.

MULLINS, Judge.

Nicholas Hanegan appeals an adverse summary judgment ruling on his application for postconviction relief, claiming he was entitled to an evidentiary hearing. On our review, we conclude the judgment of the district court was correct and no error of law appears. We affirm without opinion. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.1203(a), (d). Furthermore, even if Hanegan’s claim of newly discovered evidence had merit, the claim is barred by not having been raised within three years of its discovery. See Iowa Code § 822.3.

AFFIRMED.
