David Connell COX, Petitioner— Appellant, v. Robert O. LAMPERT, Superintendent, Snake River Correctional Institution, Respondent — Appellee.
    No. 02-35373.
    D.C. No. CV-99-01755-JMS.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Feb. 10, 2003.
    
    Decided Feb. 19, 2003.
    Before BRUNETTI, T.G. NELSON and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

The motions filed by Petitioner were not “petitions” for post-conviction relief under Oregon law. See O.R.S. § 138.580. Consequently, the statutory tolling provision of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (“AEDPA”) was never triggered. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). Petitioner’s failure to file a timely habeas petition was due to circumstances entirely within his control. Accordingly, equitable tolling is not available to Cox. See Lott v. Mueller, 304 F.3d 918, 922 (9th Cir.2002).

AFFIRMED.
