                                  ___________

Before ARNOLD, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Jon David Brooks filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate Brooks's sentence
based on the Supreme Court’s decision in Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296
(2004). The district court* denied relief, but granted a certificate of appealability on
whether the ruling in Blakely--and now United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738
(2005)--applies retroactively to cases on collateral review. The rule announced in
Booker does not apply to final criminal judgments on collateral review. See Never

      *
      The Honorable John R. Tunheim, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
Misses A Shot v. United States, 413 F.3d 781, 783-84 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
