William Clyde Gibson III v. Ron Neal, Warden
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 25-2779 · judgment March 31, 2026
Questions presented
-
Whether Shoop v. Twyford, 596 U.S. 811 (2022), precludes developing evidence through an order entered pursuant to the All Writs Act solely to support a motion for equitable tolling and without regard to whether the evidence is admissible to support the merits of a claim for habeas relief.
-
If the first question presented is answered in the affirmative, whether it is the movant’s burden under the All Writs Act to show that the evidence would be something more than relevant to whether equitable tolling is warranted.
-
Whether the collateral order doctrine applies to allow interlocutory appeals of All Writs Act transport orders whose sole purpose is to develop evidence to establish that equitable tolling is warranted.
