On October 4, 2017, the Court directed Petitioner, Brad Davis, to file a response to the
government’s motion for relief from judgment. (Case Number (“No.”) 13-cv-01225, Docket
Entry (“D.E.”) 20 at PageID 96.) Petitioner was ordered to address the Sixth Circuit’s recent
decision in United States v. Verwiebe, 874 F.3d 258 (6th Cir. 2017), reh’g en banc denied (6th
Cir. Jan. 3, 2018).
(Id.)
The Court thereafter granted Petitioner’s request for a stay of
proceedings in this case pending the Sixth Circuit’s ruling on the petition for rehearing en banc

States v. Verwiebe, No. 16-2591, D.E. 31 (6th Cir. Jan. 3, 2018).
Accordingly, the STAY IS LIFTED. Petitioner is ORDERED to file a response to the
government’s motion within fourteen days of the entry-date of this order. The response shall
address whether, and in what way, a distinction should be drawn between Verwiebe’s application
of Voisine v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2272 (2016), to the Career Offender provision of the
Sentencing Guidelines and application of Voisine to the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. §
924(e). Respondent may file a reply no later than fourteen days after the response is filed.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 17th day of January 2018.
