    Elias Manuel BRACAMONTE, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Larry SMALL, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 00-15710.
    D.C. No. CV-99-05845-SMS.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted Sept. 13, 2001.
    Decided Oct. 11, 2001.
    Before REINHARDT, HAWKINS, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

As conceded by appellee, the district court’s determination that appellant Bracamonte’s habeas corpus petition was untimely has been rendered incorrect by intervening authority. Bracamonte’s petitions in the California Superior Court and California Supreme Court were “properly filed” under Artuz v. Bennett, 531 U.S. 4, 121 S.Ct. 361, 148 L.Ed.2d 213 (2000), Tillema v. Long, 253 F.3d 494 (9th Cir.2001), and Dictado v. Ducharme, 244 F.3d 724 (9th Cir.2001), thereby tolling the applicable statute of limitations.

REVERSED.
