MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gibbs v. Legrand, 767 F.3d 879 (9th Cir. 2014):

560 U.S. at 653, 130 S.Ct. 2549 (internal quotation marks omitted). [R]easonable diligence does not require an overzealous or extreme pursuit of any and every avenue of relief. Doe v. Busby, 661 F.3d 1001, 1015 (9th Cir.2011). Rather, [i]t requires the effort that a reasonable person might be expected to deliver under his or her particular circumstances. Id.
