163718P.pdf   02/05/2018  Larry Burks  v.  Wendy Kelley
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3718
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Habeas. The district court erred in determining 
   petitioner's Section 2254 petition was timely because the time for filing 
   the petition was equitably tolled; district court's order requiring the 
   state, within 120 days to appoint petitioner appellate counsel, accept his 
   request for a state court appeal and consider the appeal timely filed or 
   vacate this convictions and re-try him was final decision for purposes of 
   appeal to this court; the time for filing this habeas was not equitably 
   tolled because petitioner failed to act with reasonable diligence to 
   protect his rights and determine the status of his case.
