United States Eleventh Circuit
Sweet v. Sec'y Dep't of Corr., 05-15199
Dismissal of petition for writ of habeas corpus is affirmed where the petition was untimely since a state post-conviction petition that was untimely under state law does not toll the one-year statute of limitations for filing a federal habeas petition.
