Javier FLORES, Petitioner-Appellant, v. A.P. KANE and Ben Curry, Respondents-Appellees, 397 F. App'x 337

MEMORANDUM California state prisoner Javier Flores appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm. Flores contends the district court erred by concluding that his federal habeas petition was untimely. The district court properly weighed the evidence concerning the filing date of Flores’s federal habeas petition and did not err in determining the filing date. See Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 275-76, 108 S.Ct. 2379, 101 L.Ed.2d 245 (1988); see also Huizar v.

Carey, 273 F.3d 1220, 1224 (9th Cir.2001) (prison’s log of outgoing mail provides “strong evidence” of the date a petitioner handed over his habeas petition to prison officials for mailing to the district court). Flores is not entitled to equitable tolling because he has not demonstrated that an extraordinary circumstance beyond his control prevented him from timely filing his federal habeas petition. See Miranda v.

Castro, 292 F.3d 1063, 1068 (9th Cir.2002) (attorney’s miscalculation of limitations period and her negligence in general do not constitute extraordinary circumstances sufficient to warrant equitable tolling); Ramirez v. Yates, 571 F.3d 993, 998 (9th Cir.2009) (petitioner not entitled to equitable tolling simply because he remained in administrative segregation and had limited access to law library and copy machine). Because Flores is not entitled to equitable tolling, his federal habeas petition was untimely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).

Finally, we construe Flores’s additional arguments as a motion to expand the certificate of appealability. So construed, the motion is denied. See 9th Cir. R. 22-1(e); see also Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
