Overview: District court properly dismissed 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 petition as untimely where it was filed one day late. Although 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d) limitations period was tolled by filing of state habeas motion, it was not further tolled by inmate's attempt at direct appeal to Florida Supreme Court, as per curiam opinions were not appealable to that court.
