JAMES SCOTT DALY, 

Defendant. 

 Case Nos.: 90CR0701-JLS

ORDER: 

1) GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION 

UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 2255; 

2) VACATING SENTENCE; and 

3) SETTING RESENTENCING HEARING

Presently before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct 

Sentence Under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (ECF No. 132). Plaintiff has filed a response

longer subject to the enhanced penalties under which he was originally sentenced in 

1996. Although Plaintiff contends that the question of whether Defendant receives a 

lower sentence is academic at this point, it agrees that as a technical matter, Defendant

 Accordingly, the Court HEREBY GRANTS Defendant’s Motion Under Section 28 

U.S.C. § 2255 and VACATES Defendant’s sentence. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that
