United States Eleventh Circuit
Robbins v. Secretary, Dep't of Corr., 05-14992
Dismissal of habeas petition as time-barred under the one-year statute of limitations under the AEDPA is reversed as the judgment of conviction was not final until both the conviction and the sentence were affirmed on direct appeal and, thus, the petition was timely.
