Heading: AEDPA’s one year statute of limitations

Text: The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) applies a one-year statute of limitations to habeas corpus petitions raised by persons in custody pursuant to a state judgment. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). The limitation period runs from the latest of four possible events. Id. In this case, the event that triggered the beginning of the limitation period was “the date on which the judgment became final by the conclusion of direct review or the expiration of the time for seeking such review.” Id. § 2244(d)(1)(A). The limitation period is tolled, however, during the pendency of any properly filed application for state post-conviction or other collateral review. Id. § 2244(d)(2). -4- No. 10-2253 Plummer v. Warren Plummer concedes that she filed her petition after the one-year limitation period had ended, but the AEDPA statute of limitations is subject to equitable tolling. Holland v. Florida, — U.S. —, 130 S.Ct. 2549, 2560 (2010). Plummer’s petition is barred unless she is entitled to equitable tolling.
