DECISION AND ORDER

MICHAEL A. TELESCA, District Judge.

I. Introduction

On June 15, 2016, movant Sergio Ramos ("Ramos"), a federal prisoner, moved this Court to vacate and correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Ramos' challenge to his sentence was based on Johnson v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015), in which the Supreme Court struck down, as unconstitutionally vague, the residual clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA"), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), the language of which was identical to the residual clause of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, under which Ramos was sentenced. Ramos' motion was fully briefed (see Docket Nos. 119, 122, 124, 125), and he subsequently requested that the matter be held in abeyance pending the Second Circuit's resolution of United States v. Jones, No. 15-1518-cr. The Court granted this request. Docket No. 127.

The Federal Public Defender, who had represented Ramos on his § 2255 motion, subsequently moved to withdraw as counsel. Docket No. 128. In a Decision and Order dated July 1, 2017, the Court lifted the stay in this matter, granted the Federal Public Defender's motion to withdraw as counsel, and instructed Ramos to file any additional memorandum no later than July 21, 2017. Docket No. 131. Ramos did not file any such memorandum. Accordingly, his § 2255 motion is ripe for adjudication.

II. Discussion

As set forth above, Ramos' § 2255 motion is predicated on the argument that Johnson applies to the residual clause contained in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. However, on March 6, 2017, the Supreme Court decided Beckles v. United States, No. 15-8544, and held that Johnson, which found the residual clause of the ACCA unconstitutionally void for vagueness, did not void for vagueness the identical residual clause language contained in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which controlled Ramos' sentence. See Beckles v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 137 S.Ct. 886, 894 (2017). In light of Beckles, Ramos' argument based on Johnson is without merit. See, e.g., United States v. Flores, 2017 WL 1274216, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 4, 2017) ("Because the Supreme Court held in [Beckles] that, unlike ACCA, the Sentencing Guidelines are not subject to vagueness challenges, defendant's motion is denied."). Accordingly, Ramos' § 2255 motion is denied.

III. Conclusion

For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby

ORDERED that Ramos' Motion to Vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Docket No. 119) is denied. The Clerk of the Court is instructed to close related civil case number 6:16-cv-06405.

ALL OF THE ABOVE IS SO ORDERED.
