*760 ORDER AND JUDGMENT **

Defendant-Appellant Peirri B. Leonard files this appeal, his fourth in this court, asking us to review the district court’s denial of his motion to review his sentence. Finding that we lack jurisdiction, we dismiss the appeal.

I. BACKGROUND

Leonard pleaded guilty to 20 counts of making, uttering, and possessing counterfeit securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 513(a) (2000). At sentencing, the district court departed upward one criminal history category based on Leonard’s long history of prior convictions. Leonard appealed his enhanced sentence, and we affirmed. United States v. Leonard, 50 Fed. Appx. 949 (10th Cir. 2002), cert denied, 537 U.S. 1240, 123 S.Ct. 1370, 155 L.Ed.2d 209 (2003). Leonard then appealed the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion based on ineffective assistance of counsel, and we denied Leonard a certificate of appealability. United States v. Leonard, 85 Fed.Appx. 102 (10th Cir. 2003). Leonard next filed a motion for authorization to file a second or successive § 2255 motion, alleging that his sentence was improperly enhanced under the sentencing guidelines. We denied Leonard’s motion. Leonard v. United States, 383 F.3d 1146 (10th Cir. 2004). Finally, Leonard filed a motion in the district court for review of his sentence under 18 U.S.C. §§ 3742(a) (2000) and 3582(b) (2000). On May 27, 2004, the district court denied the motion, and this appeal followed.

II. ANALYSIS

By its terms, § 3742(a) does not grant jurisdiction to a district court to review a final sentence. 1 See United States v. Auman, 8 F.3d 1268, 1271 (8th Cir. 1993). This section merely permits a defendant to file a notice of appeal in the district court for review of a final sentence. Once a notice of appeal has been filed, the district court’s only role is to certify the record to the court of appeals. 18 U.S.C. § 3742(d). 2 Similarly, § 3582(b) does not grant jurisdiction to a district court to review a sentence. This section merely defines “final judgment.” 3 As the Eighth Circuit has *761 noted, § 3582(b) “does not grant jurisdiction to a district court to do anything, let alone correct an illegal sentence.” Auman, 8 F.3d at 1271. The district court therefore did not have jurisdiction to consider the merits of Leonard’s motion for review of sentence under § 3742(a) or § 3582(b). It is well settled that “[a]n appellate federal court must satisfy itself not only of its own jurisdiction, but also of that of the lower courts in a cause under review.” Mitchell v. Maurer, 293 U.S. 237, 244, 55 S.Ct. 162, 79 L.Ed. 338 (1934). Thus, because the district court did not have jurisdiction to consider Leonard’s motion, we likewise have no jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.

Nevertheless, Leonard urges us to treat his motion as a properly filed notice of appeal under § 3742(a). Although we construe pro se pleadings liberally, Ledbetter v. City of Topeka, 318 F.3d 1183, 1187 (10th Cir. 2003), the circumstances of this case do not justify such treatment. Leonard has already challenged his sentence under § 3742(a) on direct appeal, and we denied him any relief. Leonard, 50 Fed. Appx. 949. Leonard’s arguments for relief in the instant appeal are largely identical to his arguments on direct appeal, and we decline to give Leonard another bite at the same apple.

The only appreciable difference between Leonard’s direct appeal and the instant appeal is his argument based on Blakely v. Washington, — U.S. -, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004). According to Leonard, the district court improperly enhanced his sentence based on his leadership role and prior convictions. New rules of criminal procedure, however, are applied retroactively only to cases pending on direct review or cases that are not yet final. Griffith v. Kentucky, 479 U.S. 314, 328, 107 S.Ct. 708, 93 L.Ed.2d 649 (1987). Leonard exhausted his direct appeal and his case was “final” prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in Blakely. See id., 479 U.S. at 321 n. 6 (a case is final when “a judgment of conviction has been rendered, the availability of appeal exhausted, and the time for a petition for certiorari elapsed or a petition for certiorari finally denied”). Thus, Blakely, as well as the Supreme Court’s more recent decision in United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), have no applicability to Leonard’s sentence.

III. CONCLUSION

Because we find that the district court had no jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. §§ 3742(a) or 3582(b), we DISMISS the appeal.
