ORDER

WILLIAM T. MOORE, Jr., District Judge.

Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 2), to which objections have been filed (Doc. 4). After careful de novo review of the record in this case, the report and recommendation is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion in this case and Petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion is DENIED. In addition, Petitioner is not entitled to a Certificate of Appealability, rendering moot any request for in forma pauperis status on appeal. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.

In his objections, Petitioner contends that he no longer qualifies as a career offender under the United States Sentencing Guidelines based on the Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015). (Doc. 4.) In that decision, the Court held that the Armed Career Criminal Act's residual clause was so vague as to violate due process. This Court sentenced Petitioner under a version of the Sentencing Guidelines that included an identically worded residual clause. Petitioner argues that that the residual clause in the Sentencing Guidelines is likewise vague based on Johnson. (Doc. 4.) As a result, he argues that he no longer qualifies as a career offender. (Doc. 1 at 9.) However, that is not the case. Beckles v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 2017 WL 855781 (Mar. 6, 2017). In Beckles, the Supreme Court concluded that the residual clause in the Sentencing Guidelines was not subject to a due process vagueness challenge. Accordingly, Beckles forecloses Petitioner's argument.

SO ORDERED.
