United States Ninth Circuit
Grant v. Swarthout, 13-55584
Reversing the district court's dismissal of an untimely habeas corpus petition and remanding for proceedings to determine the prisoner's right to equitable tolling, finding that where a prisoner is dependent on prison officials to complete a task necessary to file a federal habeas petition and the staff fails to do so promptly, this constitutes extraordinary circumstances.
