Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Petitioner is entitled to equitable tolling

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Whether the Petitioner is entitled to equitable tolling in light of his attorney’s neglect/abandonment (i.e., after his attorney abandoned him in the middle of his state postconviction proceeding, upon being disbarred, and failed to inform him when the state appellate court affirmed the denial of his state postconviction motion — thereby preventing the Petitioner from timely filing a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition). 2. Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals misapplied the “reasonable diligence” standard set forth in Holland v. Florida, 560 U.S. 631 (2010) (i.e., whether the Petitioner exercised “reasonable diligence” after his attorney abandoned him in the middle of his state postconviction appeal). il B. PARTIES INVOLVED The parties involved are identified in the style of the case. iii
