Description

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Before JONES and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges, and WALTER,1 District Judge. Rodney James Dilworth, a Texas state prisoner, appeals the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition as time -barred. Concluding that Dilworth's state habeas application (challenging a prior conviction used to enhance his current state sentence) tolled the period of limitation within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2), we vacate the district court's dismissal of his petition and remand for further proceedings.
