United States Tenth Circuit

Even if a habeas petition challenges a pertinent administrative decision rather than a state court judgment, 28 U.S.C. section 2244(d)(1)'s one-year limitation period is applicable. Dismissal of a habeas petition is reversed where petitioner's limitation period did not begin until a decision rejecting his administrative appeal became final.
