7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: James O. Ademiju v. United States of America
Case No.: 19-2588
Officials: KANNE, BRENNAN, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Equitable Tolling
James Ademiju, a Nigerian citizen, seeks to vacate his conviction for healthcare fraud. He concedes that he filed his motion outside the one-year limitations period but argues that the statute of limitations should be equitably tolled due to various extenuating circumstances. We conclude that Ademiju has not met the high standard for equitable tolling, and we therefore affirm the district court.
