v.
UNITED STATES
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION THE MATTER was referred to the Honorable Lisette M. Reid, United States Magistrate Judge, for a Report and Recommendation on Movant’s Motion to Vacate or Reduce Sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, [ECF Nos. 1–2]. Magistrate Judge Reid filed a Report and Recommendation, [ECF No. 16], recommending that this action be stayed and held in abeyance pending the Eleventh Circuit’s determination regarding a Davis claimant’s burden of proof in the federal habeas context. The Court has reviewed the entire record and notes that no objections have been filed. After careful consideration, it is hereby: ADJUDGED that United States Magistrate Judge Reid’s Report and Recommendation, [ECF No. 16], is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED.
Accordingly, it is: ADJUDGED that 1. Movant’s Motion to Vacate or Reduce Sentence pursuant to § 2255 is STAYED. This case shall be held in abeyance until the Eleventh Circuit articulates the proper burden of proof for a Davis claimant under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. See Garcia v. United States, 984 F. 3d 1367 (11th Cir. 2021), vacated by 985 F. 3d 850 (11th Cir. 2021) (holding decision in abeyance pending a decision in Granda v. United States, No. 17-15194, or Foster v. United States, No. 19-14771, or both).
2. This case is CLOSED for administrative purposes only and shall not affect the substantive rights of the parties.
3. The parties SHALL notify the Court within ten (10) days of the Eleventh Circuit’s resolution of one or both of the foregoing cases. The parties shall file both a status report, attaching the Eleventh Circuit’s mandate, as well as a motion to re-open the case.
