    Topic: Post-conviction relief – Time bar
    Summary of the Facts: In 2004, Lionell Dyson pled guilty to carjacking and armed robbery by the exhibition of a firearm. Dyson was sentenced to ten years for the carjacking offense and twenty years, with ten suspended, for the armed robbery offense. In 2008, he filed a petition for post-conviction relief which was dismissed as time barred. He appeals.
    Summary of Opinion Analysis: When a defendant pleads guilty to an offense, the corresponding petition for post-conviction relief must be filed within three years after entry of the judgment of conviction. Dyson’s claims regarding double jeopardy, ineffective assistance of counsel, involuntary guilty pleas, and speedy trial all have been held to be time-barred. In addition, Dyson cites no authority nor makes any argument supporting his ex post facto assignment of error.
