What is the statute of limitations for a federal habeas corpus petition?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Beam v. Frauenheim, No. 2:16-cv-1240 MCE KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2016):

3. Petitioner is cautioned that a one year statute of limitations is applicable to all claims presented in a federal habeas corpus petition. See 28 U.S.C. 2244(d)(1); see also Mardesich v. Cate, 668 F.3d 1164 (9th Cir. 2012) (holding that the one year statute of limitations applied to each claim in a habeas petition on an individual basis). In most cases, the one year period will start to run on the date on which the state court judgment became final by the conclusion of direct review or the expiration of time for seeking direct review, although the statute of limitations is tolled while a properly filed application for state post-conviction or other collateral review is pending. 28 U.S.C. 2244(d).
