ORDER
MAX O. COGBURN, JR., District Judge.
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant's pro se Motion for Reconsideration re Order on Motion for Leave to File. (Doc. No. 55). Defendant asks this Court to reconsider its prior order denying Defendant's motion seeking to enlarge the statute of limitations period for filing a Section 2255 petition or adjudicating his equitable tolling argument before he files a Section 255 petition.
Defendant's motion for reconsideration is denied. This Court has no authority to prospectively enlarge the time for filing a Section 2255 petition, which is one year from the date on which the judgment became final. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f)(1). As the Court noted in its prior order, Defendant is still free to file a Section 2255 petition, but this Court cannot extend the applicable statute of limitations or adjudicate any equitable tolling argument before he files his petition. Thus, the Court will deny Defendant's motion for reconsideration.
ORDER
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Defendant's pro se Motion for Reconsideration re Order on Motion for Leave to File, (Doc. No. 55), is DENIED.
