All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.

552 U.S. 3
Decided November 5, 2007.
Eleventh Circuit reversed and remanded.
The Court held that because Siebert's petition for state postconviction relief was rejected as untimely by the Alabama courts, it was not "properly filed" under §2244(d)(2). Accordingly, he was not entitled to tolling of AEDPA’s 1-year statute of limitations.
Stevens filed a dissent, joined by Ginsburg.
