Overview: District court erred in finding that a state inmate's habeas petition was timely under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(2), as the district court improperly calculated the time during which the limitations period was tolled. Neither the inmate's pro se status nor his incarceration constituted extraordinary circumstances that would warrant equitable tolling.
