conviction down to manslaughter but that's a little bit inside the point i understand all james is seeking by virtue of the sixty motion is the opportunity to amend this fabian's petition and just put forth an too on one hand they expect change as a pro se litigant to follow the exact same procedural rules as i would have to follow or any other civil but again but on the other hand they don't want to forty in the same rights that another extraordinary circumstances that would allow that well this is the rule sixty one to go forward i think the proper standard is well as this excusable neglect assuming for the moment that it might have  assuming for a moment that you are then allowed to argue to the district court that it should be cold what's your what's your tolling argument well it's tolling argument and we were careful not to get in this too much in the actual sixty be motion because we didn't want to make it appear to be a sixth of the success of petition but i understand your question and i believe that it is going to be because state action caused him not to be able to file it on time like six months late i think it was a little bit less than that i think it was three months but it will be excessive lockdowns caused him not to have access to the law library and james and i both understand  terms and he thought incineration in light of a new legal period that would be the excusable neglect we were just talking about furthermore in their opposition the state claims that this issue of the propriety of rule sixty b motion constitutionality of the state court decision is an attack in the sixty b motion and we were very careful in drafting this motion not to talk about the constitutionality of james a state court conviction other than a background section to give the court understanding of the case all james asked for was just leave to a man and i brought this up this this argument in our papers and it's a it's an imperfect analogy i understand but i think it's important that if if i was walking in this morning and i tripped outside and i hurt my knee and i waited five six years to bring a tort action hired a lawyer filed a complaint it was just mr statute of limitations ground sentence working from jail isn't afforded that same right to just come in and make this argument i appreciate that you asked about what we would do to equitably toll it but i think the issues even narrower than that it's just give us the opportunity to equitably told the statute of limitations we're not saying it's going to happen but i think given the what james has gone through in this in this case that should just be given the right to amend this mission and you and you've not made  wasn't procedurally correct to do that at that time but we look forward to the possibility of maybe even able to do that let's have him one year right after i mean to finally wake up and file the sixty motion yeah i wouldn't  clearly told her he was locked down for three months and have access to law library but but it did it took a while it is not three months late he's almost a year late well i think that's a separate issue i think that's how long you waited to would prefer that we wait here and then possibly overturn the district court decision and remained with him and to grant the motion and allow him to amend i mean that that that would be ideal if you felt that you just wanted his argument for failing to file a motion to dismiss was because the district court did all these legal errors that she didn't give him she didn't explain to him what a motion to dismiss meant she did they're supposed to file a motion and the other side comes in it doesn't sneak motion and then they come back and say we didn't respond your motion it just doesn't i was out of town the whole meeting is about all the things that i was trying to do and why i was late in filing saying you had a responsibility district court judge or you didn't follow her person's cook you know you doing a motion to dismiss them to rule for is not the proper procedure for considering a statute of limitations  said extraordinary circumstances no because there are cases from this court saying when you are complaining about legal error you can't use a rule sixty motion and not appeal when you're making clearly rule sixty b unless you comply you bring it within the time afforded by federal rules with whole procedure for you can't circumvent your form stop can't wait a year and then you know because you didn't appeal and then come they've got to and they file is doomed as they are able and so his argument is well i'm just pro se i'm just ignorant well he just that isn't enough that i'm not and the question is do we analyze that for the first time on a application of excusable neglect rules i don't think that i mean i mean there are a lot of cases but there are there were two cases i think it's gil ranch and plotkin that say if you're claiming legal error you have to bring a rule sixty motion within the time allowed to appeal you can't use rule sixty to do in the district court what you were should have brought to the court of appeal so unless those cases don't apply i don't was the basis of her decision that's why she the exception to that rule is if you explain if you have extraordinary circumstances justifying why you did not bring those claims the legal error you know within that you needn't make the motion within the tried to overcome it alleging facts of actual innocence could you help me i do not i can't put my hand on it immediately and perhaps you can could you just read me rule sixty three  days to try to basically go get the time for appeal to be started and you know but again you have to meet some specific requirements there you know to do that river and park and are way way it really isn't carving out an exception and just interpret in real sixty be wrong but i think the pioneer just said was that when you're looking at excusable neglect the one is there a per se sixty one well i think maybe the argument is a little bit different maybe excusable neglect still has to be analyzed under pioneer but the argument is his reasons don't afford any relief under  pioneer factors for the reasons you set for that because the kinds of legal error i guess what i'm saying is your urges to us today it seems to me that there are two different standards extraordinary circumstances and excusable neglect i'm not sure that's right post should what you're saying i think the thing that i have trouble reconciling is how can a death then didn't and it's also i do want to point out that in these in these other cases we're talking civil cases where there's been a nascent lost it they are trying to get the complaint right it's you know trying to get the right cause of action jane and john doe here we are at the end of the game i mean this is like hey this is an extraordinary remedy  you know you have to have more specific pleading allegations than you do and you know it's not noticed pleading i mean this is the at the end but that said what i think i'm really confused ing is how it can be that he's making claims every day you don't like how the district court resolve your motion you think she or she should have done something you bring to this court you file a c e o way and then you can start and then that process and come back over  i do believe it was argued and i believe the pioneer of the united states supreme court case is the law and should and should be followed well then it would have to be i guess i would have to look if it's not urged i guess we'd have to look  air standard perhaps this is one of the things the district court judges really don't like when we when we the parties both urge a different standard and then they come up here and say you come to this court and say now you're going to that we were wrong and you should reverse  me where in this motion and this paper filed with the district court you argued for inexcusable neglect standard rather than for an extraordinary circumstances standard  i might have read through this too quickly in preparing for the case
