Davis 139 S. Ct. 2319 (2019). That being the case, although there is no basis to vacate Davis's racketeering conspiracy conviction, his se ntence must be vacated and he will be resentenced on the racketeering conspiracy count; the Court will not enter a judgment in case No. 18 CV 1308 (VB) at this time after Davis is resentenced, the Court will enter an amended judgment in the criminal case and a final judgment in the civil case; Petitioner's Section 2255 motion was denied in all other respects; on July 10, 2020, petitioner was resentenced in the criminal case; an amended judgment, dated July 10, 2020, was entered in the crim inal case on July 13, 2020; (14 CR 768-05 Doc. #469); accordingly, because petitioner has been resentenced and an amended judgment has been entered in the criminal case, final judgment is entered in 18 CV 1308 and the case is closed. As petitioner h as not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right," a certificate of appealability will not issue; 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); the Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would n ot be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal.
