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
