ORDER

GREGORY A. PRESNELL, District Judge.

This case is before the Court on the following matters:

1. Respondent's Motion to Stay § 2255 Proceedings (Doc. 5) is GRANTED. Respondent requests to stay the disposition of this case pending the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Beckles v. United States, ___ S. Ct. ___, 2016 WL 1029080 (June 27, 2016) (No. 15-8544), wherein the Court granted certiorari to determine inter alia whether Johnson applies retroactively to collateral cases challenging sentences enhanced under the residual clause in U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a)(2). Petitioner opposes the motion. (Doc. 7).

Petitioner's sole ground for relief is that he does not qualify as a career offender in light of Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015). In United States v. Matchett, 802 F.3d 1185 (11th Cir. 2015), the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals held "that the holding of Johnson does not apply to the career-offender guideline, and the guideline is not unconstitutionally vague." In re Sapp, 827 F.3d 1334, 1336 (11th Cir. 2016); see also United States v. Matchett, No. 14-10396, 2016 WL 4757211, at *1 (11th Cir. Sept. 13, 2016) (reaffirming holding and denying petition for en banc rehearing). Consequently, the instant case is subject to denial under binding circuit precedent. The Court, therefore, concludes that the interest of justice warrants staying the case pending the Supreme Court's decision in Beckles, versus dismissing the case based on Matchett.1

2. This case is STAYED pending the Supreme Court's decision in Beckles. Respondent shall either file a motion to reopen this case or otherwise notify the Court within FIFTEEN (15) DAYS from issuance of the decision in Beckles.

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to administratively close this case and to terminate the motions (Criminal Case, Doc. 399) pending in the criminal case 6:10-cr-244-Orl-31KRS.

DONE AND ORDERED.
