   MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Omar Sharrieff Gay appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition because he failed to meet the requirements for the filing of a successive habeas petition, and because it was untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

The district court granted a certificate of appealability with respect to whether Gay satisfied the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) for filing a second or successive petition, but denied one with respect to whether the petition was untimely. We may affirm on any ground supported by the record. See McCormick v. Adams, 621 F.3d 970, 975 (9th Cir.2010). The district court properly concluded that Gay’s habeas petition was untimely because it was filed more than twelve years after the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act’s limitations period had ended, and Gay has failed to demonstrate that he is entitled to either statutory or equitable tolling. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2); see also Pace v. DiGuglielmo, 544 U.S. 408, 418, 125 S.Ct. 1807, 161 L.Ed.2d 669 (2005).

We construe Gay’s additional arguments as a motion to expand the certifícate of appealability. So construed, the motion is denied. See 9th Cir. R. 22-1 (e); see also Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam).

Gay’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied.

AFFIRMED.
