United States First Circuit

Denial of petition for habeas corpus relief from three-decades old murder conviction is affirmed where the district court did not err in ruling that petitioner had filed that petition too late, given the one-year limitations period that the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) establishes for filing federal habeas petitions that challenge state convictions.
