James Werby v. Mark Nooth

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
James Werby v. Mark Nooth, 467 F. App'x 663 (9th Cir. 2012)

James Werby v. Mark Nooth

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Oregon state prisoner James Walter Werby appeals from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

*664 Werby contends that he is entitled to equitable tolling because of the restrictive conditions under which he was incarcerated. Even assuming this alleged deprivation was an “extraordinary circumstance,” equitable tolling is not warranted because Werby failed to show that he exercised diligence in pursuing federal relief or that extraordinary circumstances prevented the timely filing of his section 2254 petition. See Holland v. Florida, — U.S.-, 130 S.Ct. 2549, 2562, 177 L.Ed.2d 130 (2010).

Werby’s request that we remand for an evidentiary hearing is denied.

AFFIRMED.
