United States Seventh Circuit

Denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus is affirmed where, because petitioner was denied permission to file a successive petition, his request was not a properly filed postconviction action, thus it did not toll the limitations period and his petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the district court was untimely.
