United States Ninth Circuit
Smith v. Williams, 15-16967
Reversing the district court's judgment dismissing as untimely the federal habeas corpus petition of a convict because a judgment only refers to the state judgment on which a petitioner is being held in a procedurally complicated case in which the determination of the statute of limitations depended on whether an initial conviction or its reinstatement was the point at which the clock started.
