This case is indistinguishable from Lo-vasz. Like Pennsylvania, Washington recognizes exceptions to its bar against successive petitions, see Wash. Rev.Code § 10.72.140, as well as exceptions to its one-year time limit for filing petitions for post-conviction review, see Wash. Rev. Code § 10.73.100. Dictado invoked one of those exceptions: he claimed his petition was based on newly discovered ev .D.Tex.1998) (<HOLDING>); Hughes v. Irvin, 967 F.Supp. 775, 778-79
