1Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM *

Petitioner Steven Ritchie appeals the dismissal of his federal habeas petition as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253.

At oral argument, the state conceded Ritchie’s petition was timely in light of Rogers v. Ferriter, 796 F.3d 1009 (9th Cir.2015). We therefore reverse the dis trict court’s decision and remand for further proceedings.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
