Description
Willie Stokes appeals from an or der of the District Court dismissing his petition for habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254, as time-barred. We addr ess an issue of first impression for our court: Whether Stokes time to file a federal habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. S 2244(d)(1) was tolled under 28 U.S.C. S 2244(d)(2) for the ninety day period during which Stokes could havefiled a petition for certiorari in the United States Supr eme Court. We join all of the other Courts of Appeals to have decided this issue, holding that the ninety day period during which a certiorari petition may be filed does not toll the applicable statute of limitations. Accordingly, we will affirm the order of the District Court.
