IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff/Respondent, vs. No. CV 16-00762 WJ/KBM No. CR 15-01557 WJ CIRILO OROZCO-SANCHEZ, Defendant/Movant. ORDER DIRECTING THE PARTIES TO CONFER AND FILE A JOINT STATEMENT IN LIGHT OF BECKLES THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Proceedings in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Beckles v. United States, 580 U.S. ___, No. 15-8544, slip op (March 6, 2017). Movant, Cirilo Orozco-Sanchez, has filed a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 claiming that he improperly received an enhanced sentence as a career offender under the United States Sentencing Guidelines because the residual clauses of USSG §§ 2L1.2 and 4B1.2 are unconstitutionally vague under the reasoning in Johnson v. United States, 576 U.S. ___, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015). (CV Doc 1; CR Doc. 23). In Beckles, the Supreme Court held that the United States Sentencing Guidelines are not subject to a void-forvagueness challenge. 580 U.S. ___, No. 15-8544, slip op at 5. The Court directs the parties to confer on the question of whether the Supreme Court’s ruling in Beckles is dispositive of all issues raised in this § 2255 proceeding and to file a joint statement advising the Court of the results of their conference. If either party contends that Beckles does not dispose of all issues, the statement shall identify the issue or issues that remain 1 for determination by the Court after Beckles and the party raising the remaining issue or issues. The parties shall confer and file the joint statement within fourteen days of entry of this Order. If neither party claims that any issues remain for adjudication following Beckles, the Court will enter an Order dismissing this § 2255 proceeding. If the parties contend that issues still remain for determination, the Court will enter an order setting a schedule for supplemental briefing. IT IS ORDERED that the Parties shall confer on the question of whether the Supreme Court’s ruling in Beckles is dispositive of all issues raised in this § 2255 proceeding and file a joint statement advising the Court of the results of their conference within fourteen (14) days of entry of this Order. ________________________________________ UNITED STATES CHIEF MAGISTRATE JUDGE 2
