What are the proper filing dates for a prisoner's habeas corpus petition?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Borden v. Swarthout, No. 2:14-cv-1400-MCE-CMK-P (E.D. Cal. 2016):

1. There is some dispute between the parties as to the proper filing dates to be used. However, as respondent points out in the response, the dates in question only differ by a day or so, which has no substantial impact on the discussion herein. The filing dates used provide petitioner the benefit of the mailbox rule. See Stillman v. LaMarque, 319 F.3d 1199, 1201 (9th Cir. 2003) (applying rule to prisoner's habeas corpus petition).
