Docket No. 8:19-cv-02541-JDW-TGW ____________________ USCA11 Case: 20-13138 2 Date Filed: 11/23/2022 Opinion of the Court Page: 2 of 2 20-13138 Before WILSON, JILL PRYOR, and HULL, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Petitioner-Appellant Wissam Hammoud appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate his 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) conviction on Count Five in light of United States v. Davis, 139 S. Ct. 2319 (2019). The district court denied Hammoud’s motion, finding his claim was procedurally defaulted. Alternatively, the district court concluded that his Davis claim failed on the merits. After careful review and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no reversible error in the district court’s denial of Hammoud’s motion to vacate his sentence. AFFIRMED.
