Montgomery v. Stewart
Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM ***
Montgomery’s equitable tolling claim fails under Miranda v. Castro, 1 (attorney’s *898 affirmative misstatement of the limitations period not grounds for equitable tolling); Frye v. Hickman, 2 (“miscalculation of the limitations period by [petitioner’s] counsel and his negligence in general do not constitute extraordinary circumstances”); and Majoy v. Roe, 3 (“[petitioner’s] attempt to place blame on his previous attorney and to assign his reliance on that attorney [sic] having made timely filing ‘impossible’ falls short of the circumstances [required to obtain equitable tolling]”).
AFFIRMED.
