United States Tenth Circuit

While habeas petitioner's failure to file a petition in error and supporting brief may be a jurisdictional bar under local rules, the time before a state court denies habeas relief will still toll the one-year statute of limitations for filing a federal habeas claim under 28 USC 2244(d)(2).
