552 U.S. 3
Decided November 5, 2007.

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.
