WILLIAM T. MOORE, Jr., District Judge.

Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 5), to which no objections have been filed. After a careful de novo review of the record, the report and recommendation is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion in this case, and Petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2255 Petition is GRANTED.

Pursuant to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Dorsey v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 2012 WL 2344463, Petitioner is entitled to be resentenced under the revised sentencing guidelines contained in the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 ("FSA"), 28 U.S.C. § 994(u). Accordingly,

Petitioner's prior sentence is VACATED. The United States Probation Office is DIRECTED to prepare a Presentence Investigation Report ("PSI"), calculating Petitioner's guideline sentence by reference to the FSA's revised guidelines. Upon receipt of the completed PSI, the Court will promptly schedule this matter for a sentencing hearing.1 The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this

SO ORDERED.
