claim is pending.” 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2). As noted, Alicia’s conviction on direct review became final on January 7, 2002.. The one-year AEDPA statute of limitar tions began to run on January 8, 2002.-Alicia filed his PCRA petition on January 3, 2003. The limitation period was statutorily tolled from the date of filing, January 3, 2003, through March 20, 2007, the date of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision denying Alicia’s PCRA petition. On March 21, 2007, the statute of limitations period began to run again and expired three days later, on March 24, 2007. Alicia filed his petition on August 2, 2007, 131 days after the statutory deadline. Therefore, Alicia’s petition was untimely. The court may apply equitable tolling to a federal habeas petition. See Holland, 130 S.Ct. at 2554 (<HOLDING>). A petitioner seeking equitable tolling bears
