ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S

MOTION FOR EQUITABLE TOLLING

[Doc. #1]

Petitioner is a state prisoner. On March 10, 2010, Petitioner filed a document entitled

“Petitioner’s Notice of Motion and Request for Application fo Equitable Tolling Granting Leave to

File Habeas Corpus.” Petitioner has not actually filed a petition of habeas corpus with this Court. 

Petitioner contends that if he did file a petition it would be outside the one year statute of limitations

set forth by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, see 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1), so he has

proactively requested this Court grant him equitable tolling and leave to file a petition for writ of

habeas corpus. 

Petitioner did not tell the Court in his motion whether he is challenging his conviction or a

disciplinary hearing nor did he specify on what date he believed the decision in question became

final. Without knowing the date of the final decision, the Court cannot determine when the

limitation period began to run, making it impossible to determine the date on which the limitation

period ended.. Furthermore, without an actual petition, this Court cannot determine threshold

matters such as venue and exhaustion. This Court cannot make any determinations as to the petition

until Petitioner has actually filed a petition. Only when Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of

habeas corpus can this Court begin to examine these issues. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that

1. Petitioner file a petition for writ of habeas corpus with this Court within sixty (60) days. 

This deadline does not act as a tolling period in any way. If Petitioner chooses not to file a petition

within the allotted time, the case will be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 110;

and

2. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to send Petitioner a blank § 2254 form petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
