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.
