Before Boudin, Circuit Judge, Souter, *fn1 Associate Justice, and Selya, Circuit Judge.

SELYA, Circuit Judge. This case presents a question of first impression in this circuit: Is the limitations period for the filing of a federal prisoner’s habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f) subject to equitable tolling? We answer this question affirmatively, but — even though the petitioner raises a serious question about whether he was unlawfully deprived of the services of a qualified interpreter — we go no further; the record as it stands is insufficient to allow us to resolve the merits of either the equitable tolling claim or the substantive claims that underlie the petition. Consequently, we vacate the order dismissing the petition and remand for further proceedings.
