Before: IKUTA and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges, and CHOE-GROVES,**** Judge.


      Phonsavanh Phongmanivan appeals the dismissal of his petition for habeas

corpus. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253(a), and we

reverse and remand.

      The district court erred in dismissing Phongmanivan’s habeas petition as

barred by the one-year limitations period in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death

Penalty Act of 1996, 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). The limitations period was tolled

when Phongmanivan filed a personal restraint petition with the Washington Court

of Appeals on February 4, 2015, see § 2244(d)(2), and the tolling ended when the

Washington Court of Appeals issued a certificate of finality on April 1, 2016, see

Phongmanivan v. Haynes, No. 96980-9, 2020 WL 946132, at *4 (Wash. Feb. 27,

2020). Thus, Phongmanivan timely filed his habeas petition on April 9, 2016. See

Phongmanivan v. Haynes, 918 F.3d 1021, 1023–24 (9th Cir. 2019).

      REVERSED AND REMANDED.
