Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Appellant Manuel Parejo appeals the district court's order dismissing as time-barred his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Reviewing the order de novo, Redd v. McGrath, 343 F.3d 1077, 1080 (9th Cir.2003), we hold that the petition was timely and reverse.
In determining that Parejo was aware of the "factual predicate" of his habeas claims as early as 1995, the district court misconstrued the applicable section of the habeas limitations statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(D). Under this court's decision in Shelby v. Bartlett, 391 F.3d 1061 (9th Cir.2004), which was based on Redd and reaffirmed in Mardesich v. Cate, 668 F.3d 1164 (9th Cir.2012), when, as here, a habeas petition challenges an administrative decision rather than the underlying judgment of conviction, the "factual predicate" under section 2244(d)(1)(D) triggering the one-year limitations period is ordinarily the administrative decision. See Mardesich, 668 F.3d at 1171-72; Shelby, 391 F.3d at 1062-66; Redd, 343 F.3d at 1081-85. We find no reason for departing from that framework here.
We further conclude that the administrative decision the petition challenges is the then-latest denial of parole, issued by the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board on December 27, 2007. Respondent conceded at oral argument and we now hold that so construed, the petition is timely under Redd and Shelby.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
