PER CURIAM.
Avery Glass appeals after the district court1 denied his 28 U.S.C. § 2255
motion, in which he challenged his sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act
1The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.

(ACCA), arguing that his prior Missouri conviction for second-degree robbery no
longer qualified as an ACCA predicate offense, after Johnson v. United States, 135
S. Ct. 2551 (2015). In light of a recent decision by this court en banc, we conclude
that Glass’s argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Swopes, 886 F.3d 668, 670-
72 (8th Cir. 2018) (en banc) (concluding that Missouri conviction for second-degree
robbery qualifies as ACCA predicate offense), as corrected (Mar. 29, 2018), pet. for
cert. filed (U.S. Aug. 30, 2018) (No. 18-5838). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B. We also deny Glass’s motion for a stay.
