United States Supreme Court
Evans v. Chavis, 04-721
Determination that a California prisoner's request for federal appellate review, made three years after a lower state court ruled against him was timely under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), is reversed where the circuit court departed from the Supreme Court's interpretation of the AEDPA as applied to California's system in Carey v. Saffold, 536 U. S. 214 (2002).
