SUMMARY ORDER

Love Antonio Brooks1 appeals from a *792judgment of the Eastern District of New York (Charles P. Sifton, Judge) dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The District Court granted a certificate of appealability on the question whether the rule announced in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000) is retroactively applicable on collateral review.

Brooks was convicted on various narcotics and related charges and sentenced principally to life in prison plus fifty years. One of the two terms of life in prison to which he was sentenced was for conspiracy to distribute narcotics under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) that resulted in a statutory maximum sentence of life in prison under Section 841(b)(l)(A)(i), (iii). While his petition for collateral review was pending, Brooks sought leave to amend it to include a claim based on the Supreme Court’s then-recent decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), because the jury did not find drug quantity beyond a reasonable doubt. The District Court denied the motion as time-barred, but granted a certificate of appealability “[ijnsofar as there [was] conflicting authority within this circuit” on the question of whether Apprendi was retroactively applicable on collateral review. Were Apprendi retroactive, the motion to amend would have been timely.

Subsequently, we held in Coleman v. United States, 329 F.3d 77, 90 (2d Cir. 2003), that Apprendi “announced a rule that is both ‘new1 and ‘procedural,’ but not ‘watershed,’” and thus was not retroactively applicable on collateral review. As a result, the District Court properly dismissed Brooks’s petition.

The judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
