MEMORANDUM
CATHERINE C. BLAKE, District Judge.
Arthur Jeter has filed a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 challenging his sentence imposed under the career offender guidelines. The government has filed a response to which Jeter has not filed a reply.
The ground for the § 2255 motion is that Jeter's prior robbery conviction did not qualify as a "crime of violence" pursuant to the holding of the Supreme Court in Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015). However, in Beckles v. United States, 137 S.Ct. 886, 895 (2017), the Supreme Court held that the advisory Guidelines are not subject to a vagueness challenge under the Due Process Clause. Johnson does not apply. Thus, Jeter's claims must be denied. No certificate of appealability will be issued.
A separate order follows.
