Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether the Court should apply the rule in Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147 (2007)—that a final judgment in a criminal case means the sentence—and hold that the federal habeas corpus statute of limitations does not begin to run until a judgment of conviction and sentence becomes final, not when a prior order deferring adjudication of guilt becomes final.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the federal habeas corpus statute of limitations begins to run from the finality of a deferred adjudication order or the finality of the judgment of conviction and sentence
