The following excerpt is from McMonagle v. Meyer, No. 12-15360 (9th Cir. 2015):

See White v. Klitzkie, 281 F.3d 920, 924 (9th Cir. 2002) ("[T]he question of when a conviction becomes final, so as to start the running of the statute of limitations under 2244(d)(1)(A), is fundamentally different from the question of how long the statute of limitations is tolled under 2244(d)(2).").
