Denial of Habeas Petition as Untimely Affirmed
In Roberts v. Marshall, No. 08-55901, a second-degree murder prosecution, the court affirmed the denial of petitioner’s habeas petition where the record was amply developed, and it indicated that petitioner’s mental incompetence was not so severe as to cause the untimely filing of his habeas petition, and thus the district court was not obligated to hold evidentiary hearings to further develop the factual record, notwithstanding his allegations of mental incompetence.
