OPINIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT

FILED WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2013

NOTICE - MEDIA RELEASE TIME IS 10:00 A.M.

 

A12-0868       Michael Wayne, petitioner, Appellant, vs. State of Minnesota, Respondent.
                     Waseca County.
           1.   Appellant’s motion filed pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 590.01, subd. 1a (2012), was properly denied by the postconviction court because the motion failed to establish that the evidence to be tested was subject to a chain of custody and was materially relevant to appellant’s actual innocence.
           2.   If appellant’s motion was properly treated as a petition, his claim was time-barred pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 590.01, subd. 4(c) (2012), because appellant knew or should have known of the claim more than two years before the petition was filed.
           Affirmed.  Justice Alan C. Page.

           Took no part, Justice David L. Lillehaug.
