OPINION

John Mock seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). For the reasons set forth below, we vacate and remand for further proceedings. The district court, acting sua sponte, determined from the face of Mock’s petition that his claims were barred by the one-year limitations period set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d) (2000), and dismissed the action without giving Mock notice and an opportunity to respond. At the time it issued its decision, the district court did not have the benefit of our recent opinion in Hill v. Braxton, 277 F.3d 701 (4th Cir. 2002). Hill *311 v. Braxton now requires the district court to provide such notice and opportunity to respond “unless it is indisputably clear from the materials presented to the district court that the petition is untimely and cannot be salvaged by equitable tolling principles or any of the circumstances enumerated in § 2244(d)(1).” Id. at 707.

Because it is not “indisputably clear” that Mock cannot salvage his petition, we grant a certificate of appealability, vacate the district court’s order, and remand to the district court to provide Mock with the notice and opportunity to respond to which he is now entitled pursuant to Hill. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
