[¶1] Dennis James Gaede appeals from an order and judgment dismissing his petition for postconviction relief. The district court concluded Gaede's claims were brought outside the statute of limitations provided in N.D.C.C. § 29-32.1-01(3)(b) and he had raised no genuine issue of material fact there was new evidence to avoid the statute of limitations. After reviewing the record, we conclude Gaede's claim is outside the statute of limitations and he has raised no genuine issue of fact on newly discovered evidence. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6). See also Gaede v. State, 2022 ND 71, ¶ 1, 973 N.W.2d 5 (affirming district court's finding "Gaede's PTSD diagnosis is not newly discovered evidence, and this claim was brought outside the statute of limitations"); Gaede v. State, 2015 ND 160, 870 N.W.2d 26 (summarily affirming district court's findings on claims of newly discovered evidence); Gaede v. State, 2013 ND 41, ¶ 1, 832 N.W.2d 334 (res judicata precludes claims that were raised or could have been raised in prior proceedings).
