Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Raul Tirado Garcia appeals from the district court's denial of his § 2255 petition alleging ineffective assistance of counsel and improper sentencing. Garcia pled guilty to four drug-related offenses and entered into a plea agreement that waived the right to appeal or collaterally attack any issue related to his conviction or sentence.
"The sole test of a waiver's validity is whether it was made knowingly and voluntarily." United States v. Anglin, 215 F.3d 1064, 1068 (9th Cir.2000). Garcia challenges his waiver on the basis of an alleged Rule 11 violation. However, "even the voluntariness and intelligence of a guilty plea can be attacked on collateral review only if first challenged on direct review." Bousley v. United States, 523 U.S. 614, 621, 118 S.Ct. 1604, 140 L.Ed.2d 828 (1998). Garcia did not raise his Rule 11 objection on direct review or in his § 2255 petition. This argument is now waived.
Garcia also argues that a waiver is unenforceable with respect to an illegal sentence. Even if Garcia has a claim that survives under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), his sentence does not violate the rule in that case. See United States v. Toliver, 351 F.3d 423, 432-33 (9th Cir.2003). Nor does Garcia's sentence violate United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005); recently we joined "every other circuit that has considered the question" in holding that Booker does not apply to sentences that became final prior to its decision. United States v. Cruz, 423 F.3d 1119, 1120 (9th Cir.2005) (per curiam).
As Garcia's waiver is enforceable, we lack jurisdiction to hear the balance of his claims.
DISMISSED in part and AFFIRMED in part.
