1Opinion of the Court

SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.

Mr. Vauda Virgle Shipp, Jr., appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 habeas petition. We granted a certificate of appealability (“COA”) on one issue: whether “Chambers v. United States, — U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 687, 172 L.Ed.2d 484 (2009), applies retroactively on collateral review to convictions that were final at the time the case was decided by the Supreme Court.” See May 1, 2009 Order. We conclude that Mr. Shipp is entitled to retroactive application of Chambers to his § 2255 petition. Accordingly, we reverse and remand.
