Rasberry v. Garcia
Rasberry v. Garcia
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Jackie Ervin Rasberry appeals the district court’s denial of his motion pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b) for relief from the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We review the denial of a Rule 60(b) motion for an abuse of discretion. Greenawalt v. Stewart, 105 F.3d 1268, 1273 (9th Cir. 1997) (per curiam). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
To the extent that Rasberry claims he has now fairly presented his federal claims in a state habeas petition before the California Supreme Court, this state petition was filed over five months after Rasberry’s AEDPA one-year statute of limitations expired. All of Rasberry’s issues were unexhausted at the time his AEDPA statute of limitations expired, and Rasberry does not demonstrate that he is entitled to statutory or equitable tolling. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1); Frye v. Hickman, 273 F.3d 1144 (9th Cir. 2001). As this was not a mixed petition, the district court properly dismissed the petition as unexhausted, and the denial of Rasberry’s 60(b) motion challenging that dismissal was not an abuse of discretion. See Greenawalt, 105 F.3d at 1274.
AFFIRMED.
