United States Sixth Circuit
Robertson v. Simpson, 07-6191
A denial of defendant's petition for habeas relief filed one month beyond the one-year statute of limitations, holding that defendant failed to meet his burden of proving that he was entitled to equitable tolling, is remanded for a determination of whether defendant's attorney's cocaine use and possible misadvice constitute sufficient extraordinary circumstances to entitle defendant to equitable tolling.
