PER CURIAM. Jeffery Charles Cook, a Florida prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We granted a certificate of appealability (“COA”) on the following issues:
(1) Are either Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), or United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), retroactive to cases on collateral review pursuant to Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288, 109 S.Ct. 1060, 103 L.Ed.2d 334 (1989)?
(2) If so, is the appellant able to challenge his sentences on collateral review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(C)? On appeal, Cook argues that justice requires retroactive application to all who are similarly situated. He asserts that he did not stipulate to any of the relevant facts used to enhance his sentence. Since granting the COA we have held in Varela v. United States, 400 F.3d 864, 868 (11th Cir.2005) and United States v. Swindall, 107 F.3d 831, 834 n. 4 (11th Cir.1997) that Booker is not retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review.
Thus, the district court did not err in denying Cook’s § 2254 petition. See Varela, 400 F.3d at 868; Swindall, 107 F.3d at 834 n. 4. Because the first question is answered negatively, we need not address the second question. AFFIRMED. . As in Varela, after we issued a COA, the Supreme Court further explained in Booker that the holding in Blakely applies to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. See Varela, 400 F.3d at 865 n. 1. Thus, to the extent Cook’s appeal turns on the application of Blakely, it also turns on the application of Booker.
