The following excerpt is from Black v. Virga, 1:11-cv-02089 MJS HC (E.D. Cal. 2012):
As stated above, the statute of limitations period began on November 15, 2004. Petitioner failed to file any post-conviction collateral actions and the statute of limitations expired on November 14, 2005. State petitions filed after the expiration of the statute of limitations period shall 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.").
