121632P.pdf 03/14/2013 Aaron Deroo v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1632
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Government's argument that this case should
have been dismissed as a second or successive habeas is rejected because
the present claim had not arisen when the earlier Section 2255 was filed;
while it had arisen when Deroo filed a Section 2241 with the Seventh
Circuit, a Section 2255 motion is not a second or successive application
where the previous petition sought relief under Section 2241; however,
Deroo could have discovered the claim that his Presentence Report was
erroneous years before he filed this motion, and the district court did not
err in concluding it was untimely; Deroo failed to establish the elements
of equitable tolling.
