Fifth Circuit habeas case Gonzalez v. Thaler, 10,895 is set for argument on November 2, 2011

The issues up for argument in Gonzalez v. Thaler are what event triggers AEDPA’s one-year statute of limitations under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(A), and whether a fully compliant certificate of appealability, meeting all of the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), is a jurisdictional requirement for a habeas appeal.
