MEMORANDUM**

2
John Bump, a federal prisoner currently serving a 20-year sentence for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, appeals from the denial of his Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35 motion to correct an illegal sentence and to modify a sentence.   The district court reached the merits and denied the Motion.   We affirm but on different grounds.   The district court lacked the jurisdiction to consider the motion.

3
The current version of Rule 35 does not confer jurisdiction upon the district courts to hear a motion to challenge a sentence.   The new Rule 35 applies to all crimes committed after November 1, 1987.   Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, § 215(b), Pub.L. 98-473, October 12, 1984, 98 Stat. 2031.   Bump pleaded guilty to a conspiracy which began around March 21, 1988.   The district court had no jurisdiction to consider Bump's motion.

4
AFFIRMED.
