Anderson v. Cambra
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner William James Anderson appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition as untimely. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We review de novo, see Hasan v. Galaza, 254 F.3d 1150, 1153 (9th Cir. 2001), and we affirm.
Anderson contends that his trial counsel’s failure to file a notice of appeal tolled the one-year period of limitation under 28
Anderson also contends that he is entitled to equitable tolling because he is “actually innocent.” This claim fails because Anderson has not presented any new evidence of actual innocence. See Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 327, 115 S.Ct. 851, 130 L.Ed.2d 808 (1995) (to establish actual innocence, a petitioner “must show that it is more likely than not that no reasonable juror would have convicted him in light of ... new evidence”).
Anderson’s remaining contentions are without merit.
AFFIRMED.
