Before COLLOTON, HANSEN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Harold Ray appeals the district court’s1 judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255
motion. We granted a certificate of appealability related to a sentencing enhancement
under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(2)(A) for use of a chartered airplane, and we now affirm.

      A jury found Ray guilty of two marijuana offenses, as well as attempted
witness tampering. In May 2000 the district court sentenced him to 97 months on
each count, to be served concurrently. On direct appeal, we affirmed Ray’s

      1
       The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, Chief Judge, United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
convictions, but remanded for resentencing on the drug counts in light of Apprendi
v. New Jersey, 

(2000). See United States v. Ray, 

, 599
(8th Cir. 2001), cert. denied, 

(2002). Following an August 2001
hearing, the district court resentenced Ray to 60 months on each of the drug counts,
to be served concurrently with each other and with the previously imposed 97 months
for attempted witness tampering, and we affirmed. See United States v. Ray, 

, 1040-41 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 

(2002). This section 2255
motion followed.

        Ray now argues that his conduct did not fall within the meaning of "import"
as used in section 2D1.1(b)(2)(A); and, citing United States v. Booker, 

(2005), that the district court’s imposition of the enhancement violated the Sixth
Amendment. Reviewing de novo, see Bear Stops v. United States, 

, 779
(8th Cir.), cert. denied, 

(2003), we conclude that Ray procedurally
defaulted the first point by failing to raise on direct appeal the specific challenge to
the enhancement that he now brings, see Auman v. United States, 

, 160-
61 (8th Cir. 1995), and that he cannot rely on Booker to challenge the enhancement
in this collateral proceeding, see Never Misses A Shot v. United States, No. 05-1233,

, at *2 (8th Cir. July 7, 2005) (per curiam).

      Accordingly, we affirm.
