111744P.pdf   05/01/2012  Wilbert Johnson  v.  Ray Hobbs
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1744
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Habeas Corpus - equitable tolling. Because Johnson's first petition for
   postconviction relief was filed prematurely and he did not seek leave to
   file amended petitions, his petition was not timely and his time for filing
   a petition for writ of habeas corpus was not tolled. Johnson is not entitled
   to equitable tolling because he cannot show an extraordinary
   circumstance, external to himself and not attributed to his actions,
   prevented him from timely filing his application for a writ of habeas
   corpus. Dismissal of his petition as untimely is affirmed.
