Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the trial court erred in dismissing petitioner's motion to vacate the indictment on the premise that the motion did not qualify as a statutory application under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) because Georgia law provides that a motion to vacate or modify a judgment of conviction is not an appropriate remedy in a criminal case and therefore did not toll the time required under § 2244(b)
