SAN JOSE DIVISION

LUCIO SANCHEZ-BELTRAN,

Petitioner,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent.

Case Nos.: 07-CV-02098-JF(LHK)

 99-CR-20106-JF-2

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT 

TO ANSWER

On June 26, 2009, Judge Fogel issued an order denying Petitioner’s motion under 28 

U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct Petitioner’s sentence. ECF No. 10. On September 

29, 2010, the Ninth Circuit denied Petitioner’s request for a certificate of appealability. ECF No. 

15.

On January 7, 2014, Petitioner filed a motion to reopen his § 2255 proceedings under Rule 

60(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, arguing that the Supreme Court’s intervening 

decision in Lafler v. Cooper, 132 S. Ct. 1376 (2012), provides cause for the Court to order an 

evidentiary hearing in this case. No. 99-CR-20106-JF-2, ECF No. 219 at 4 (citing United States v. 

Soto-Lopez, 475 F. App’x 144 (9th Cir. 2012)).
