Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This case is before us on remand from the United States Supreme Court for further consideration in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). "Booker held enhancements based upon judge-found facts under the mandatory federal Sentencing Guidelines violate the Sixth Amendment. To remedy the problem, the Supreme Court struck down the statutory provisions which made the Guidelines mandatory, the effect of which was to 'make[ ] the Guidelines effectively advisory.' " United States v. Turnbull, 414 F.3d 942, 943 (8th Cir.2005) (quoting Booker, 543 U.S. at -, 125 S.Ct. at 757)).
In this case, Gailyn Bass's 210 month sentence was based in part upon judge-found facts regarding the amount of cocaine attributed to him under United States States Sentencing Guideline (U.S.S.G.) § 2D1.1. Bass, however, never brought a Sixth Amendment challenge to this aspect of his sentencing, and thus we review any Booker error for plain error only. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 52(b).
Under plain error review, Bass must show a "reasonable probability that he would have received a more favorable sentence with the Booker error eliminated by making the Guidelines advisory." United States v. Pirani, 406 F.3d 543, 551 (8th Cir.2005) (en banc). We have reviewed the record in this matter and conclude Bass cannot show by a reasonable probability he would have received a more favorable sentence under an advisory Guideline regime.
Having found no plain error, we reaffirm Bass's judgment of conviction and sentence in all respects.
