ORDER
In light of the intervening en banc decision in Lee v. Lam-
pert, No. 09-35276, 2011 WL 3275947 (9th Cir. Aug. 2,
2011) (en banc), we vacate our opinion in Souliotes v. Evans,
622 F.3d 1173 (9th Cir. 2010), reverse the district court’s dis-
missal of Souliotes’s habeas petition as untimely, and remand
for proceedings consistent with Lee.
We also vacate our order of limited remand issued on May
25, 2011, with the understanding that the district court will
conduct whatever proceedings are necessary, in an expedited
manner, to determine whether any of Souliotes’s habeas
claims may be addressed on the merits.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
