OPINION
KEITH, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Theodore Cook (“Cook”) appeals the district court’s dismissal with prejudice of his petition for a writ of habe-as corpus because it was untimely. Cook presents three issues on appeal: whether he received adequate notice of his April 24, 1997 filing deadline when no controlling authority had set the deadline until after that date; whether the common law mailbox rule applies to the mailing of his habe-as petition to a third party, who in turn filed the petition at a later date; and whether the statute of limitations should have been equitably tolled.
