How later courts describe this case
- holding that habeas petition filed thirteen days after the one year statute of limitations expired was barred as untimely
- holding that 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2) does not toll the limitations period to take into account the time in which a defendant could have potentially filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, following a state court's denial of post-conviction relief
- case filed thirteen days after the limitations period expired dismissed for failure to comply
