U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2923
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. The district court did not err in denying this
section 2255 motion on the ground it was untimely; equitable tolling of
the filing deadline was not warranted based on Muhammad's five-month
detention in a special housing unit; nor did his mistaken reliance on his
attorney to file the motion warrant tolling where Muhammad failed to act
with reasonable diligence to determine if the attorney filed and pursued
the motion.
