Waldron-Ramsey v. Pacholke, No. 07-35938 ("Neither Waldron-Ramsey's alleged confusion regarding the basis of the state court rulings, nor his alleged confusion regarding AEDPA justify his 340-day delay. In a motion filed April 18, 1997, Waldron-Ramsey explicitly stated he knew his AEDPA deadline was April 23, 1997.FN3 His alleged belief he was entitled to statutory tolling beyond that date was based on his own assumptions, and a diligent petitioner in that situation would have filed a basic form habeas petition as soon as possible. Waldron-Ramsey's strategy to wait 340 days to file, in the hopes that any ambiguities would ultimately be resolved in his favor, is the kind of oversight, miscalculation or negligence for which equitable tolling is not appropriate.").
