United States Ninth Circuit

In petitioner's appeal from the dismissal of her federal petition for writ of habeas corpus for failure to file within the one year statute of limitations mandated by 28 U.S.C. section 2244(d), the order is reversed where, for purposes of the section 2244(d) statute of limitations, she was entitled to the benefit of the mailbox rule when determining the filing dates of her state and federal habeas petitions, all of which were filed pro se.
