How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that causation was not demonstrated where prisoner “still had over six months to complete his federal habeas petition” after the termination of the allegedly extraordinary circumstances
• holding that a lack of notice of AEDPA provisions does not warrant equitable tolling
• holding that period of incapacity during one-year statute of limitation does not warrant equitable tolling
• holding that “a brief period of incapacity during a one-year statute of limitations, even though rare, does not necessarily warrant equitable tolling”
• holding that equity does not entail tolling on these facts
• noting that AEDPA's one-year grace period affected hundreds of prisoners, none of whom learned of it on its effective date
