California state prisoner Charles Glenn Norman, Jr., appeals pro se from the

Norman does not dispute on appeal the district court’s determination that his
petition was untimely. Even if this issue were not waived by Norman’s failure to
brief it, see Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999), the record
supports the district court’s conclusion. Norman’s petition was filed beyond
AEDPA’s limitations period, and he is not entitled to either equitable or statutory
tolling. See Holland v. Florida, 130 S. Ct. 2549, 2562 (2010) (equitable tolling
available where the petitioner shows “(1) that he has been pursuing his rights
diligently, and (2) that some extraordinary circumstance stood in his way and
prevented timely filing”) (internal quotations omitted); Ferguson v. Palmateer, 321
F.3d 820, 823 (9th Cir. 2003) (“section 2244(d) does not permit the reinitiation of
the limitations period that has ended before the state petition was filed”).
We construe Norman’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); Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir. 1999) (per curiam).
AFFIRMED.
