March 3, 2017 - Federal District Court Judge Denies Florida Attorney General's Motion to Dismiss Federal Habeas (2254 Petition)

March 3, 3017, federal district court judge denies Florida Attorney General's motion to dismiss formerly pro se litigant's federal habeas petition (28 United States Code Section 2254 petition) as untimely, agreeing with Mr. Kent's briefing which argued that the petition in fact was timely.  This case had a very complex and convoluted procedural history in state court which raised somewhat novel issues of AEDPA habeas timeliness.  A copy of the federal judge's order can be found by clicking here.  The case will now proceed to be determined on the merits.
