like the reserve two minutes of my time for rebuttal great to addressing if he outs at the court's questions and in particular whether the circumstances surrounding the dismissal in this particular case by the district court are sufficiently unusual or extraordinary that equitable tolling might apply to some future filing by mr torricelli i think the court doesn't really need to get to that question at this point but if it does the answers applied in personally versus the case where the court addressed the somewhat similar fact paradigm where you had an expected sion that was filed the court considered it for about a fourteen month period and then dismissed without prejudice so the on exhausted claims could be litigated in state court in that circumstance when mr olson only came back into federal court this court concluded that the preclusion of his petition because the limitations period running conjunction with the court's order and the fact that there's an exhaustion requirement were sufficiently extraordinary that he's entitled that will toll we think the same thing would apply here in the future that is because at the time  court issued its order effectively put mr torricelli out of court the limitations here didn't run and we know that because the supreme court has said the filing of twenty two fifty four petition doesn't pull the limitations period and when you do file again or later it doesn't really and here the circumstances surrounding his exhaustion were equally if not more compelling than those interested only because you've got these two different limitation periods that exist in state and federal courts to address  little constitutional dimension so if in federal court and you want to raise another claim you've got to do it within one year of number but if you're in state court you've got to wait till the supreme court says it's retroactive and you get sixty days so you are supposed to be clear voice to know that steps he may be dilatory he can do what he may decide not to even come back to federal so that said the aspect of equitable tolling is a completely different animal relative to this particular fact paradigm and that in the decision by discovery order or for instance not joining an essential or necessary party that's not the situation we have here and it could take years for this thing to get exhausted in state court so we're not dealing with a discrete time period and when you look at the says so what what does that mean i mean it might take years but you know the order said without prejudice with leave to refile after exhaustion of stigma is you can you have you have every standpoint i don't know if mr mcmonagle will agree but it seems very binary do you concede that if mr torricelli is finally determined under state law to have been not a minor at the time of his conviction then he's not entitle to any military alabama relief that's that's true that's the facts and you know you know i'm exhausted faxes and mr mcmonagle probably knows what question he'll be asked in there so i mean my point is we have this tricky question of jurisdiction we've a tricky question of stay in a big a versus equitable tolling but is this one of these cases where this court should just speak very plainly and essentially tell the district court either reversing because of state of bay or affirming because of this without prejudice subject to equitable tolling and then that way we make sure we get the case right for all parties concerned regardless of what our rationale is and i don't mean to imply that our rationale isn't important it always is but this case strikes me as one the cries out more to make sure that we get the case right in the rationale is is quite secondary well there's obviously as you point out different ways to get there it appeared to us and mr torricelli as well that the state of a procedure this was a classic case for i mean he's got a situation that he simply couldn't comply with the exhaustion requirement so he meets that standard he's got a and in applying that particular doctrine down the road and so many of these cases were stayed for long periods of time and we're not really asking for much more asking for a stay did you file motion for reconsideration did we yes we did just read this morning the spirit court's opinion which said this the trial court which ruled against you as i understand of the merits lacked your stiction for failure to join an indispensable party right yes miss so now you're back in state court having join you dispensable party well actually there are two things going on it's a little confusing so mr parr celie on his own decided that maybe the best way to litigate this issue was to go to orphans court and so he went there on his own without the benefit of coun meanwhile there was a pending post conviction relief that petition with that exact same issue in it needless to say we are trying to give him some what relief was he seeking an orphan's court well he thought it might be a good idea to amend his birth certificate and you know there's different standards that apply and i guess he was thinking if he did that then he could carry a thing across the hall to the judge in the piece or a court and say look i'm a mark but same question could be resolved in connection with the post conviction relief act edition of the fact it's understand some of the complications it's a very odd circumstance here one year old and they were born at the lunar your happen lunar new year happens to happen that right after you're born you're two and so he could actually have been closer to sixteen as opposed to those the offense or sixteen or seventeen so that's the case in the state court that will finally at some point when it reaches the supreme court tells the federal courts whether he's entitled to miller relief or happen of this mr watt thought it might be best just to pursue it by way of the p c r a get that back on track but he is going to be in contact with mr karzai to find out what his wishes were as as a client so we're just kind of a holding it would seem to be completely improper for this court to deprive mr torricelli the opportunity in state court to get a final determination on that unless of course you know we lacked jurisdiction to judge fisher's point or the district court like jurisdiction but beyond beyond something like lacking for stiction shouldn't we just make sure that he has the opportunity to bring that fact question a final conclusion in due course i believe so judge and i was preparing for this late last week and to yesterday i think it dawned on me that we might be missing a point here in our russia decide whether or not miller applies or not apply the better way to look this might be under section twenty two forty four d one d because there's a vital factual predicate here that's in question as i read that statute admittedly i haven't been doing federal habeas for all that long in my office but as i read the statute and what cases i've looked at you get a year from the latest of those dates some of the four exceptions of twenty two forty four d if of if a state court finds that he is under eighteen on july first of twenty seventeen he would have a year from that date pending any other equitable or statutory tolling to file this federal habeas corpus so even if a state court would rule he's under eighteen on july case if we've missed the point and that's the way we should be analyzing this but i think the district court ruling could be seen as a final world order which would give this court jurisdiction to decide it and yet and mr karr so he still has his rights under the indicated in my brief there may be some dilatory factors here because a court as the commonwealth reserve record at this early stage he received the mr presley received a letter from someone someone involved in korean cultural circles as early as one nine hundred eighty my counsel was ineffective in not petitioning my case back to juvenile court where my counsel was ineffective in not challenging my statement to the police the stakes are very different though in those circumstances as compared to a mandatory life without  they are judging all those issues that i'm raising the commonwealth may lose on him he would get relief anyways it may not matter but i believe those are issues that all fell under if the court believes it's more properly to rule us to look at this other twenty to forty forty one d an because of the way this case was decided by this record if it just recorded stay in the bade this pending him return is taker we knew we would be here but that's not what happened that's for judge we would be that's not what happened and we always have to evaluate our jurisdiction to hear these cases and you know i think that the the the real question is you know if he's found to be under eighteen the time of this offense  know that's one question you find over that that mr alric is out of luck but if we just need to valuate this jurisdictional question and i still haven't heard you say what when you think we have procedure the fact that the district court made a ruling is not in itself extraordinary as reports make rulings every day sometimes are for defendants sometimes or for the commonwealth plaintiffs defendants so from that point of view there's nothing extraordinary about the case the district in doing that and that the fact that this case puts him out of court for the time period type eating time being i think i would have to agree with as i understood mr order's argument that he is out of court at this point so i believe that would give this court jurisdiction to decide the matter that and as i understand your argument mr mcmonagle you would have no if the commonwealth would have no objection to a summary order from this court affirming the district court's dismissal without prejudice but making clear that if and when mr torricelli gets a final adjudication of his age that he the courthouse doors of the district court are open to him open to him subject to any other arguments regarding dilatory tactics or anything under twenty to forty four if he gets that far but he would still have to prove is age in s he fact as early as nine hundred eighty eight in the document i believe is in the record before the court right now but all that just means that the commonwealth has the ability to fight the merits determination about how old he was when he was convicted yes and but i was talking about the next step which is if he gets a state court ruling that he was a minor then the federal district court doors need to be opened to him boy well if you gives a decision favorable to him i don't know if we get a federal court because the commonwealth would be appealing if your state court and whether we would went on a search before the you know i mean i'm presuming that you don't just lose in the state trial court if if the entire state court system right up through the certain petition opportunity determines that he was a minor then the commonwealth is going to have to grant him  relief or are you going to zoom in and say that he's barred by it right well if you get state court relief at but doesn't come into play because he doesn't even come in the state court or come into federal court well he's  declared by by the state courts to have been a minor at the time of the commission of the offense but that doesn't automatically revise his sentence law under pennsylvania's p c r a if he would convince the pcr p c r a court that he was under eighteen when he committed his offense the commonwealth could appeal that factual decision to the superior court and then ask for alka ask for petition for lots  appeal to the supreme court and if we lost then a writ of certiorari us supreme court and if we would lose all along that way the commonwealth as far as i understand has no right to follow a petition in federal court federal district court to dispute that we would then be l he would get no really in the unusual circumstance that you didn't give a miller relief then you i assume have no objection to us making clear that the federal district court would have to hear his hideous petition and that it would be barred for some jurisdictional reason in other words yes it will tolling here's what i'm trying to avoid if the state court system finally did system all the way up finally determines that he was a minor when he committed this offense we can have a situation where the commonwealth doesn't give him miller relief i'm not saying you would do this if you didn't he goes in federal court and says hey i'm being held you know in violation of the revues corpus unconstitutionally we can't have the district court then saying well you know when i look at the equitable tolling factors i don't think you quite measure up so i'm not going to great your petition that's what i'm that's what i'm trying to avoid and if there's some reason not to avoid that please tell us now at certainly can't speak for the other eighty eight but of of i'm still of the office as i'm not trying to pull those walls over the district court eyes or try to speak or working it out so he gets the benefit of miller montgomery at that point just one quick point that twenty two forty four d is the court knows that that's the after discovered evidence provision so he can give you one year from the day your judgment becomes final yet whatever amount of time you need if there is a brady violation you don't know about some e you get a year from the date and whatever's alabama comes down or if there's after discovered evidence you get a year from a date discovery could this be could could a state court determination fit into that oxer i don't see how in the world that could possibly apply in this circumstance i mean the question here is that you get the benefit of this new constitutional and there are no facts it would be a legal determination it's as to what is proper birthdate is that's not a fact that's the state court legal determine exactly ok thank you
