Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether a petitioner is prohibited in all circumstances from amending mid appeal pleadings unless his judgment is first set aside?
2. Whether a motion to amend a federal habeas petition while an appeal from the dismissal of the petition is pending constitutes a second or successive petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)?
3. Whether the standard for equitable tolling on the basis of mental incapacitation turns on the extent of documentation of the severity of the impairment that hindered timely filing of a habeas petition?
4. Whether an evidentiary hearing is warranted to resolve an equitable tolling issue when the material facts necessary to determine whether tolling is appropriate are in dispute?
