ORDER


The Court having read and considered Defendant Wright's Motion Under 28 U.S.C. 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody (Doc. #194) and the Government's Response in Opposition thereto (Doc. #205), and good cause appearing,

The Court finds that Defendant Wright's Motion (Doc. #194) must be denied.

Specifically, Defendant Wright has failed to show that the assistance provided by his counsel was ineffective under the standards established in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. at 687 (1984). Additionally, Defendant Wright's sentence was not based upon an incorrect loss amount, nor does the fact that a Co-Defendant received a shorter sentence support Defendant Wright's request for relief herein. IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Wright's Motion Under 28 U.S.C. 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody (Doc. #194) is DENIED.
