Is a Petition for Habeas corpus barred by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Nowling v. Miller, Civil No.14-0226-MMA(WVG) (S.D. Cal. 2014):
Respondent argues that the Petition is barred by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act's ("the AEDPA") statute of limitations. The provisions of the AEDPA apply to petitions for writs of habeas corpus filed in federal court after the AEDPA's effective date of April 24, 1996. Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. 320, 117 S. Ct. 2059, 2068 (1997). Therefore, because the Petition was filed on January 24, 2014, the AEDPA applies to this case.
