Description
Petitioner-Appellant Mark Kevin Presgrove was convicted in Oklahoma state court of unlawful possession of methamphetamine, after former conviction of two or more felonies. He was sentenced on May 2, 1995, and his direct appeal to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals was denied on March 26, 1996. On May 24, 1996, Presgrove filed a state habeas petition, which was dismissed the same day for want of jurisdiction. On June 8, 1998, Presgrove filed another state habeas petition, which was denied on June 22, 1998. His appeal of that decision was denied on August 13, 1998. Presgrove filed the present habeas petition in federal court on February 2, 1999. The district court, adopting the findings and recommendations of the magistrate, denied the petition as untimely filed under the statute of limitations set forth under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act ("AEDPA"). See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(A). The district court declined to issue a certificate of appealability on this or any other issue.
