OPINION OF THE COURT
FISHER, Circuit Judge.
Robert Jenkins, a Pennsylvania prisoner at State Correctional Institution—Laurel Highlands, seeks federal habeas relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, as amended by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (“AEDPA”). The District Court ordered the dismissal of Jenkins’s habeas petition as untimely under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d). For the reasons stated below, we hold that Jenkins is eligible for statutory tolling of AEDPA’s limitation period. Accordingly, we will reverse the District Court’s order.
