UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 97-41514 DEWEY GLYNN DAILY, Petitioner-Appellant, versus GARY L. JOHNSON, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice – Institutional Division, Respondent-Appellee. Appeal for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (6:97-CV-697) March 8, 1999 Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges. PRE CURIAM:* Dewy Glynn Daily appeals the district court’s dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. In light of our recent decisions in Flanagan v. Johnson, 154 F.3d 196 (5th Cir. 1998), and Fields v. Johnson, No. 98-10012 (5th Cir. October 28, 1998), the Attorney General of the State of Texas now concedes that Appellant’s habeas corpus petition was timely filed under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. Therefore, we vacate the judgment of the district court and remand the case for further proceedings. * Pursuant to 5th CIR.R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th CIR.R. 47.5.4. -1- VACATED AND REMANDED -2-
