7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Ricard M. Arnold v. Reed A. Richardson, Warden,

Case No.: 20-2701

Officials: KANNE, ROVNER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Writ of Habeas Corpus – Innocence Exception

This case returns to us after we remanded to the district court for an evidentiary hearing on whether the petitioner could overcome the one‐year time bar to filing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, under the actual innocence exception. After holding the hearing, the district court determined that Arnold failed to meet the rigorous standard for overcoming the time bar set in Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298 (1995), and dismissed the petition. We affirm.
