for postconviction relief actions. At the time Harrington filed the present action, this provision required that PCR applications “be filed within three years from the date the conviction or decision is final or, in the event of an appeal, from the date the writ of proceden-do is issued.” Iowa Code § 822.3. This statute was enacted in 1984, several years after Harrington’s conviction and appeal became final. See 1984 Iowa Acts ch. 1193, § 1 (codified at Iowa Code section 663A.3 (1985)). In Brewer v. Iowa District Court, 395 N.W.2d 841 (Iowa 1986), we held “that all potential postconviction applicants whose convictions became final prior to July 1, 1984, must file their applications' for postconviction relief on or before June 30, 1987, or be barred from relief” 395 N.W.2d at 844 (<HOLDING>). Thus,- Harrington’s present action is time
holding that coram nobis was abolished by pcr statute holding that postjudgment application for intervention was timely holding that notice of appeal was not effectively taken where appeal was filed simultaneously with timely motion for reconsideration because when timely motion for reconsideration is filed a notice of appeal filed prior to disposition of the motion to reconsider has no effect holding that a california habeas petition is timely if filed within a reasonable time holding harringtons first pcr application was timely filed
