Grays

MEMORANDUM **

Petitioner Marquis D. Grays (“Grays”) appeals pro se the District Court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition as time-barred under 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (d)(1) of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (“AEDPA”). He contends that AEDPA’s one-year statute-of-limitations period must be statutorily tolled under 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (d)(2) for the entire time he pursued his state collateral remedies and, alternatively, that equitable tolling is warranted. Because Grays is entitled to statutory tolling between the filing and disposition of each of his four state habeas petitions and during all three *109 intervals between petitions, his federal habeas petition was timely. See Gaston v. Palmer, 417 F.3d 1030 , -, slip op. at 8969 (9th Cir.2005). As a result, we vacate the dismissal of his petition as untimely and remand to the District Court for further proceedings.
