3. “The doctrine of equitable tolling “has been consistently applied to excuse a claimant’s failure ■ to comply with the time limitations where she had neither actual nor constructive notice of the filing period.” Leorna [v. U.S. Dep’t of State ], 105 F.3d [548] at 551 [ (9th Cir. 1997) ]. “If a reasonable plaintiff would not have known of the existence of a possible claim within the limitations period, then equitable tolling will serve to extend the statute of limitations ... until the plaintiff can gather what information he needs.” However, “once a claimant retains counsel, tolling ceases because she has gained the means of knowledge of her rights and can be charged with constructive knowledge of the law’s requirements.” Leo rna, 105 F.3d at 551.”
