Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Montana
Donald W. Molloy, District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted October 7, 2013
Portland, Oregon
Before: SILVERMAN, W. FLETCHER, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Cody William Marble appeals the district court's dismissal of his federal habeas petition as time-barred. We agree with the district court that Marble's petition was filed outside of the one-year statute of limitations period set forth in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d).
However, it appears that the record was not adequately developed in the district court to allow a determination of whether Marble was eligible for equitable tolling. See Holland v. Florida, 130 S. Ct. 2549, 2562 (2010). Indeed, at oral argument both sides agreed that the factual basis for Marble's claim for equitable tolling had not been fully developed in the district court, and accordingly, had not been considered by the district court. Accordingly, the district court's denial of the habeas petition is VACATED and the appeal is REMANDED for consideration of Marble's claim for equitable tolling.
