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.
