Hollows on 7/12/11 GRANTING 28 Lodgement of Sealed Claim and Exhibits in Support of Petitioner's State Habeas Corpus Petition filed by Danny Ray Horning.

This permission applies to all claims presented on state exhaustion as it makes little sense logistically to sever the claim(s) on which the 60 day equitable tolling of the entire federal petitions timely filing date was based from all other to-be-exhausted claims. The above authorization is without prejudice to any argument respondent has, or desires to preserve, regarding statute of limitations issues.(Meuleman, A)
