091415P.pdf   08/13/2010  Tyrone White  v.  Lynn Dingle
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1415
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with John R. Gibson and Shepherd,
   Circuit Judges]
Habeas Case - procedural default. An amended habeas petition does not relate back to the date of an original petition that was dismissed without prejudice for failure to exhaust state remedies. Because White has diligently pursued his rights and demonstrated an extraordinary circumstance warranting equitable relief based on this court's failure to remand his original petition for consideration of the exhausted claims, White is entitled to equitable tolling. Case is remanded with instructions to allow White to amend his petition and proceed with exhausted claims.
