United States Third Circuit
Jenkins v. Highland, 10-4410
Dismissal of state prisoner-petitioner's habeas corpus petition is reversed where petitioner is: 1) eligible for statutory tolling of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act's limitation period because his pleading was properly filed, tolling the limitation period, and thus his habeas petition was timely on statutory tolling; and 2) entitled to equitable tolling.
