This matter comes on before this court on appeal from an order of the district court dated April 12, 2002, and entered on April 15, 2002, denying the petition of Robert Douglas ("Douglas") for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on the ground that it was untimely under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). The district court had jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and we have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253(c)(1)(A). Our review of the order denying the habeas petition as time-barred is plenary. See Johnson v. Hendricks, 314 F.3d 159, 161 (3d Cir. 2002). For the reasons stated herein, we will affirm the district courts order.
