The following excerpt is from Mackrill v. Chappell, No. 2:12-cv-3071 WBS CKD P (E.D. Cal. 2013):
In addition, all three state petitions were filed after the one-year statutory limitations period ended on November 1, 2000. The tolling provision of section 2244(d)(2) can only pause a clock not yet fully run; it cannot "revive" the limitations period once it has run (i.e., restart the clock to zero). Thus, a state court habeas petition filed beyond the expiration of AEDPA's statute of limitations does not toll the limitations period under section 2244(d)(2). See Ferguson v.
