7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Samuel Moreland v. Cheryl Eplett, Warden

Case No.: 20-1600

Officials: BRENNAN, SCUDDER, and St. Eve, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Habeas Relief – Equitable Tolling

Samuel Moreland argues his federal habeas corpus petition was erroneously dismissed when the district court concluded that the petition was time barred and circumstances did not warrant equitable tolling. But Moreland’s arguments either fall short of the relevant legal and equitable standards or fall outside the scope of the certificate of appealability. So, we affirm the district court’s denial of habeas relief.
