072387P.pdf   04/08/2008  Michael Runyan  v.  Jerry Burt
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2387
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with John R. Gibson and Benton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. Runyan's initial post-conviction
   relief petition was not properly filed under Iowa law and the filing did
   not toll the time for filing a federal habeas petition; district court
   did not err in concluding Runyan was not entitled to equitable tolling
   as the steps of properly verifying his application and paying the
   requisite docket fee were entirely within his control.
