The following excerpt is from Trammel v. Clark, No. 2:19-cv-02078-JAM-CKD P (E.D. Cal. 2020):
filed after the expiration of the statute of limitations does not revive it. See Ferguson v. Palmateer, 321 F.3d 820, 823 (9th Cir. 2003). Therefore, as respondent points out, petitioner is not entitled to any statutory tolling while his state habeas corpus petitions were pending in state court. The instant federal habeas petition was filed over 15 months after the statute of limitations expired unless petitioner is entitled to equitable tolling.
