be filed within three years of the time the petitioner’s direct appeal is ruled upon. Miss.Code Ann. § 99-39-5(2) (Rev. 2015). Here, Lyles’s direct appeal of this conviction was affirmed by this Court on May 19, 2009. See Lyles v. State, 12 So.3d 552, 555 (¶ 17) (Miss.Ct.App.2009). He filed his PCR motion in February 2013, over three years later. Thus, his PCR motion is time-barred. ¶ 12. Certain statutory exceptions could waive the procedural bar, such as an intervening Mississippi Supreme Court decision like Gowdy, if it applied. See Miss.Code Ann. § 99-39-5(2)(a)(i). However, Gowdy does not apply, because, as the State points out, it cannot be applied retroactively to cases that were final before April 7, 2011, the date Gowdy’s mandate was issued. See Carr, 178 So.3d at 321 (¶ 6) (<HOLDING>). This Court affirmed Lyles’s conviction on May
holding miranda decision does not apply retroactively holding that because apprendi does not apply retroactively neither does blakely holding that apprendi does not apply retroactively holding gowdy does not apply retroactively to habitualoffender convictions that were final when gowdy was issued holding that  523a13 does not apply retroactively
