MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Copeland v. Ryan, 852 F.3d 900 (9th Cir. 2017):
1 The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 imposes a one-year statute of limitations on 2254 habeas petitions. 28 U.S.C. 2244(d). As an exception to this general rule, courts can consider untimely federal habeas petitions if the petitioner shows "actual innocence" on the challenged convictions. Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 31823, 115 S.Ct. 851, 130 L.Ed.2d 808 (1995).
