Marcus D. WILSON, Petitioner—Appellant, v. Robert AYERS, Jr., Warden, Respondent—Appellee.
    No. 01-17345.
    D.C. No. CV-99-02868-CRB.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted July 14, 2003.
    Decided July 25, 2003.
    Before REINHARDT, SILER, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The Honorable Eugene E. Siler, Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting by designation.
    
   MEMORANDUM

This case was decided by the district court before Whalem/Hunt v. Early, 233 F.3d 1146 (9th Cir.2000) (en banc), in which we noted that equitable tolling claims are “highly fact-dependent” and should be developed before the district court. Although the district judge invited memoranda regarding tolling, it announced in its order that it would not conduct any hearing on the issue. That part of the order was not consistent with the procedure subsequently discussed in Whalem/Hunt. Given the type of matters set forth in Wilson’s notice of appeal, the district court should, upon remand, explore appropriately petitioner’s allegations regarding equitable tolling. Id. at 1148.

REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings in accordance with this disposition.
