United States Ninth Circuit

Denial of an untimely 28 U.S.C. section 2254 habeas petition is reversed and remanded for further proceedings where petitioner suffered from delusions so severe that he was unable to understand the need to timely file his petition, and the unique nature of those delusions made it impossible to do so.
