What is the statute of limitations period for a state habeas petition?

As stated above, the statute of limitations period began on April 24, 1996. Petitioner filed his first state habeas petition on July 11, 2007. At that point, the statute of limitations period had elapsed over ten years earlier. State petitions filed after the expiration of the statute of limitations period have no tolling effect. Ferguson v. Palmateer, 321 F.3d 820 (9th Cir. 2003) ("section 2244(d) does not permit the reinitiation of the limitations period that has ended before the state petition was filed.").
