U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-3893
District of Nebraska - Lincoln
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. For the court's prior opinion in the case, see
United States v. O'Neal, 501 F.3d 969 (8th Cir. 2007). On remand from
the Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of Jimenez v. Quarterman,
129 S.Ct. 681 (2009). This case is factually distinguishable from Jimenez
as Jimenez is limited to situations in which a state court grants a criminal
defendant the right to file an out-of-time direct appeal during state
collateral review but before the defendant has first sought federal habeas
relief; here, O'Neal had first sought habeas relief before the state trial
court granted him a new direct appeal, and Jimenez does not apply.

U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-3893
District of Nebraska - Lincoln
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit
Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Under Nebraska law, the AEDPA statute of
limitations calculation is not affected when a new direct appeal is granted
on post-conviction review; as a result, the district court did not err in
determining that petitioner's habeas petition was time barred.
