United States Ninth Circuit

The district court's dismissal of a habeas corpus petition is affirmed, where petitioner was not entitled to equitable tolling of the limitations period due to either his limited English proficiency or his mental impairment, because neither constituted an "extraordinary circumstance" that prevented him from timely filing his petition and he did not diligently pursue his rights.
