Moore v. Helling
Moore v. Helling
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Ryan Moore is ineligible for statutory tolling of his federal habeas petition during the time his state habeas petition was pending before the Nevada Supreme Court. The Nevada Supreme Court held that Moore’s state petition was untimely, and therefore the petition was not “properly filed” as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2). See Pace v. DiGuglielmo, 544 U.S. 408, 417, 125 S.Ct. 1807, 161 L.Ed.2d 669 (2005).
Moore is entitled to equitable tolling of the one-year statute of limitations under § 2244(d)(2) because his state habeas petition would have been “properly filed” under our decision in Dictado v. Ducharme, 244 F.3d 724 (9th Cir. 2001).
Reversed and Remanded.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
. Although Moore did not raise this issue to the district court, we granted Moore's motion to expand his certificate of appealability to raise this issue. “Now that the equitable tolling issue has been fully briefed on appeal, we may not review the merits of the [certificate of appealability] expansion ruling.” Smith v. Ratelle, 323 F.3d 813, 816 n. 4 (9th Cir. 2003).
