   MEMORANDUM

Federal prisoner Ruben Gonzalez Avila appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Gonzalez Avila contends that he is entitled to equitable tolling because his trial counsel incorrectly advised him about when the limitations period began to run. We review the dismissal of a section 2255 motion on timeliness grounds de novo. See United States v. Buckles, 647 F.3d 883, 887 (9th Cir.2011). We also review a request for equitable tolling de novo. See United States v. Aguirre-Ganceda, 592 F.3d 1043, 1045 (9th Cir.2010). Gonzalez Avila is not entitled to equitable tolling because he has not shown that his attorney’s conduct was so egregious as to constitute an “extraordinary circumstance” that prevented him from filing a timely section 2255 motion. See Holland v. Florida, — U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 2549, 2564, 177 L.Ed.2d 130 (2010); Aguirre-Ganceda, 592 F.3d at 1046 (“Extraordinary circumstances do not include a lawyer’s miscalculation of a limitation period.”).

We construe Gonzalez Avila’s additional arguments as a motion to expand the certificate of appealability. So construed, the motion is denied. See 9th Cir. R. 22—1(e); Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
