MEMORANDUM**
John Joe Lopez appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for a reduction of sentence. Because appellant’s November 24, 2004, filing in the district court included a request for a cer*527tificate of appealability, we have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Tinsley v. Borg, 895 F.2d 520, 528 (9th Cir.1990).
Appellant’s claim raised in the district court regarding the applicability of Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), to his sentence is foreclosed by United States v. Cruz, 423 F.3d 1119, 1120-21 (9th Cir.2005) (per curiam). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
It is not clear from the record whether the district court recharacterized appellant’s pro se motion as a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. If it did, then the district court failed to warn appellant “that this recharacterization means that any subsequent § 2255 motion will be subject to the restrictions on second or successive motions.” See Castro v. United States, 540 U.S. 375, 383, 124 S.Ct. 786, 157 L.Ed.2d 778 (2003). Accordingly, we conclude that appellant’s pro se motion, filed in the district court on August 16, 2004, cannot be considered to be appellant’s first § 2255 motion for purposes of applying the restrictions on second or successive motions in the future. See id.
AFFIRMED.
