Clarke v. Rader, No. 12-30252 (5th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePetitioner appealed the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. 2254 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The district court denied the petition because it was filed after the one-year statute of limitations period under section 2244(d)(1)(A). The court held that petitioner was not entitled to statutory tolling because he failed to show that state action prevented him from filing his petition. The court also held that petitioner was not entitled to equitable tolling because he failed to show an extraordinary circumstance that prevented him from timely filing. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
