James Mulgrew v. M. McDonald

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner James Arthur Mulgrew appeals from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2258, and we affirm.

Mulgrew contends that the district court erred in dismissing his petition as untimely. We need not decide whether Mulgrew was entitled to any form of tolling to render his petition timely because the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a); Bailey v. Hill, 599 F.3d 976, 982 (9th Cir. 2010) (“ § 2254(a) does not confer jurisdiction over a state prisoner’s in-custody challenge to a restitution order imposed as part of a criminal sentence”); Washington v. Lampert, 422 F.3d 864, 869 (9th Cir. 2005) (reviewing court may affirm on any ground supported by the record).

AFFIRMED.
