Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Robert Lee Fryburger appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Fryburger contends that his petition was timely. However, he is not entitled to statutory gap tolling because the twenty-two month delay between the California Court of Appeal's denial of his habeas petition and the date he filed his Cali fornia Supreme Court habeas petition was unreasonable. See Evans v. Chavis, 546 U.S. 189, 201, 126 S.Ct. 846, 163 L.Ed.2d 684 (2006) (unexplained, and hence unjustified, six-month filing delay not reasonable); Chaffer v. Prosper, 592 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir.2010) (per curiam) (petitioner not entitled to statutory tolling because delays of 115 days and 110 days between the filing of petitions were unreasonable). Further, the petitions he filed or attempted to file during this twenty-two month delay do not entitle him to statutory tolling. See Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 180-81, 121 S.Ct. 2120, 150 L.Ed.2d 251 (2001) (pending federal habeas petition does not statutorily toll limitation period); White v. Martel, 601 F.3d 882, 883-84 (9th Cir.2010) (per curiam) (statutory tolling unavailable when a state petition is deemed untimely). Because more than one year elapsed between the California Court of Appeal decision and the date Fryburger filed his habeas petition in the California Supreme Court, his federal habeas petition was untimely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).
Fryburger is not entitled to equitable tolling because he has not demonstrated that an "extraordinary circumstance" prevented him from timely filing his habeas petition. See Holland v. Florida, — U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 2549, 2562, 177 L.Ed.2d 130 (2010).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
. We grant Fryburger's request to certify for appeal the issue of whether the district court properly dismissed the section 2254 petition as untimely. The state has fully briefed the issue that we certify for appeal.
