Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Frank Bradley Molesky, Jr., appeals from the district court's judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We review de novo the district court's denial of a section 2255 motion, see United States v. Manzo, 675 F.3d 1204, 1209 (9th Cir. 2012), and we affirm.
Molesky contends that, when imposing the 120-month sentence, the district court assumed that Molesky would have been subject to a 180-month mandatory minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA") had the parties not negotiated a charge bargain. According to Molesky, his sentence violates due process because Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), subsequently rendered the district court's assumption erroneous. We construe the district court's certificate of appealability broadly to encompass this claim. Mole-sky is not entitled to relief because the record does not show that the potential application of the ACCA demonstrably formed the basis for Molesky's sentence. See United States v. Vanderwerfhorst, 576 F.3d 929, 935-36 (9th Cir. 2009) (setting forth due process standard).
As he acknowledges in his reply brief, Molesky's additional arguments are foreclosed. See Beckles v. United States, — U.S. —, 137 S.Ct. 886, 895, 197 L.Ed.2d 145 (2017) (holding that "the advisory Sentencing Guidelines are not subject to a vagueness challenge under the Due Process Clause and that [U.S.S.G.] § 4B1.2(a)'s residual clause is not void for vagueness").
AFFIRMED.
