Campbell v. Kares
Petition for certiorari denied on October 7, 2024
Issue: (1) Whether Michigan"s statute allowing a prisoner to request DNA testing calls for a "judicial reexamination" of the defendant"s conviction under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2) to statutorily toll the habeas limitations period, or is more akin to a discovery request; and (2) whether Stephen Kares "properly file[d]" 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.
