Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-97-CV-3959
___________________________________________
March 9, 2000
Before POLITZ, JOLLY, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The district court erred in dismissing Charles B. Williams’ (Texas prisoner #
554523) 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition as time-barred. The Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals dismissed Williams’ second state postconviction application on October 1,
1997, not on April 9, 1997, as found by the district court. Accordingly, we vacate the
judgment and remand to the district court for further proceedings.
