Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 2:10-cr-00456-APG-VCF-2 v.

JASON WILEY, MEMORANDUM *

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Andrew P. Gordon, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted October 10, 2023**

Before: S.R. THOMAS, McKEOWN, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

Jason Wiley appeals from the district court’s order denying in part his

supplemental motion to vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. We have jurisdiction

under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We review de novo the district court’s denial of a § 2255

motion, see United States v. Manzo, 675 F.3d 1204, 1209 (9th Cir. 2012), and we

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

OSA134 affirm.

Wiley contends that his 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) convictions must be vacated

because aiding and abetting Hobbs Act robbery does not qualify as a predicate

crime of violence after United States v. Taylor, 142 S. Ct. 2015 (2022). This

contention is foreclosed. See United States v. Eckford, 77 F.4th 1228, 1236-37

(9th Cir. 2023) (concluding that Taylor does not undermine this court’s authority

holding that aiding and abetting Hobbs Act robbery is categorically a crime of

violence under the elements clause of § 924(c)).

Wiley’s motion to expand the certificate of appealability is denied. See 28

U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir. 1999).

AFFIRMED.
