Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit February 18, 2004, 02-2162 (Leroy Nolan v. United States)

DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge.

Leroy Nolan is trying to pursue a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, but he has been blocked at the doorway by the one-year statute of limitations that applies to such motions. He realizes that this is a formidable problem, which he can avoid only if this court is willing to find that the deadline has been equitably tolled in his case.
