Atmore

Summary

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida dismissed Ronnie T. Atmore’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus application as time-barred under AEDPA’s one-year limitation period. The court held that Atmore’s later state filings did not toll the limitation period and that he was not entitled to equitable tolling based on filing his federal application in the wrong court. The court also denied a certificate of appealability and leave to appeal in forma pauperis.
