ORDER
The petition for rehearing is GRANTED and the suggestion for rehearing en banc is DENIED. The opinion filed on August 22, 2000, published at 222 F.3d 1210 (9th Cir. 2000) is WITHDRAWN. Submission of this case is DEFERRED pending a decision by the United States Supreme Court in Walker v. Artuz, 208 F.3d 357 (2d Cir.), cert. granted sub nom Duncan v. Walker, ___ U.S. ___, 121 S.Ct. 480, 148 L.Ed.2d 454 (Nov. 13, 2000), or until further order of this court.
I agree that the petition for rehearing should be granted and the original opinion withdrawn. Waiting for the United States Supreme Court to decide whether a federal habeas petition tolls the year limitation period is useful, because it will let Jiminez know whether he will have any time to file a new or amended petition after he exhausts state remedies. It is not necessary to wait for Walker, however, to review the district court's dismissal of this petition, since it was filed before the year period expired. Because it contained unexhausted claims, it should have been dismissed without prejudice. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 1605-06, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000).
