View this case - free  

Overview: Where an inmate filed a post-conviction relief petition in the wrong state court, his petition was not properly filed for purposes of 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(2), and therefore the inmate's federal habeas petition should have been dismissed as time-barred; due to lack of diligence, equitable principles did not warrant tolling of the statute either.
