*606Before JAMES R. BROWNING, WALLACE, and T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.

*

 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. *606R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

MEMORANDUM **

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Franklin does not argue that the district court erred in concluding that her habeas petition was filed beyond the one-year statute of limitations.1 Instead, she argues that the one-year statute of limitations should not apply to her petition because her conviction is “void” or a “nullity.” However, her conviction is not “void” or a “nullity.” At most, the claims that she raised in her petition made her conviction “voidable.” Thus, we do not address that argument.

Further, it is clear that extraordinary circumstances beyond Franklin’s control did not make it impossible for her to file her petition on time.2 Franklin alleges no facts that excuse her untimely petition, and thus, the one-year limitations period was not “equitably tolled.”3

Moreover, Franklin did not assert her claim of actual innocence in her petition or before the district court. Thus, at least with respect to this petition, Franklin waived any claim of actual innocence. Even if this claim were not waived, Franklin could not avoid the one-year statute of limitations on this ground because she has not presented any new evidence which establishes her innocence.4

*607Finally, applying the one-year limitations period to Franklin’s petition does not violate the Suspension Clause.5 In a particular case, the one-year limitations period could violate the Suspension Clause if it rendered the remedy of habeas corpus “inadequate or ineffective.”6 That is not the case here. The remedy of habeas corpus was always available to Franklin, but she simply did not act diligently in pursuing it.

Accordingly, we hold that the district court did not err in dismissing Franklin’s petition on the ground that it was untimely. AFFIRMED.

. "A 1-year period of limitation shall apply to an application for a writ of habeas corpus by a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court.” 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). The one-year statute of limitations was added by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA”). Because Franklin filed her petition after the effective date of the AEDPA, she is subject to its provisions. *Lindh v. Murphy,*521 U.S. 320, 336, 117 S.Ct. 2059, 138 L.Ed.2d 481 (1997).
