UNITED STATES of America, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 92-15850.

MEMORANDUM**

Glen William Lester appeals the denial of his motion to vacate sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. A magistrate judge presided over the selection of the jury that convicted Lester, in violation of Gomez v. United States, 490 U.S. 858 (1989). Lester's conviction became final before Gomez was decided and he now seeks to have the rule in that case applied retroactively. However, we have previously held that Gomez "should not be afforded 'complete' retroactive effect and applied to convictions challenged on collateral review." United States v. Judge, 944 F.2d 523, 525 (9th Cir.1991), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 1988 (1992). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court denying Lester's motion to vacate sentence is

AFFIRMED.
