RODRIGUEZ v. ARTUZ

PER CURIAM.

Alfredo Rodriguez appeals from Judge Sotomayor's order dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus as untimely under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). Rodriguez contends that application of the one-year statute of limitations in Section 2244 effects an unconstitutional suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. See U.S. Const., Art. I, § 9, cl. 2. We affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court. See Rodriguez v. Artuz, 990 F. Supp. 275 (S.D.N.Y. 1998).
