Question Presented (from Petition)

Does Michigan's statute allowing a prisoner to request DNA testing call for a "judicial reexamination" of the defendant's conviction under § 2244(d)(2) to statutorily toll the habeas limitations period, as in the Fifth and Sixth Circuits, or it is more akin to a discovery request, in line with decisions from the Second, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits and the Michigan appellate courts?

Did Petitioner Stephen Kares "properly file" his DNA motion under state law, where he did not even attempt to satisfy the minimal pleading requirements set forth in Michigan's post-conviction DNA testing statute?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does Michigan's DNA testing statute toll the habeas limitations period?
