Enbridge Energy, LP v. Nessel · ¶22

As in prior cases, the Court need not parse whether § 1446(b)(1) qualifes as a statute of limitations subject to a presumption of equitable tolling because the result, even if the presumption applies, “is straightforward.” Arellano, 598 U. S., at 7; see United States v. Brockamp, 519 U. S. 347, 350 (1997). “The presumption is rebutted if `there [is] good reason to believe that Congress did not want the equitable tolling doctrine to apply.' ” Arellano, 598 U. S., at 7 (alteration in original). Here, the kinds of evidence the Court generally considers on this question show that Congress did not want § 1446(b)(1) to be equitably tolled.
