Having pleaded guilty to illegal reentry following deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, Jose Efrain Ayala argues that his sentence violates United States v. Booker ** because the district court applied the United States Sentencing Guidelines as mandatory rather than discretionary; that his sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) is unconstitutional in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey ***; and that district court abused its discretion by requiring that Ayala cooperate with the probation officer in the collection of DNA as a condition of supervised release.
The Government concedes that Ayala preserved his challenge to the application of mandatory sentencing guidelines by objecting that the sentencing proceeding violated Blakely v. Washington. **** As the sentencing transcript is devoid of evidence that the district court would have imposed the same sentence under an advisory regime, the Government has not borne its burden of establishing that the district court’s error was harmless. See United States v. Walters, 418 F.3d 461, 464 (5th Cir.2005).
Ayala’s argument that the “felony” and “aggravated felony” provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) are unconstitutional is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). Although Ayala contends that Almendarez-Torres was incorrectly decided and that a majority of the Supreme Court would overrule Almendarez-Torres in light of Apprendi, we have repeatedly rejected such arguments on the basis that Almendarez-Torres remains binding. See United States v. Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 276 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 298, 163 L.Ed.2d 260 (2005). Ayala properly concedes that his argument is foreclosed in light of Almendarez-Torres and circuit precedent, but he raises it here to preserve it for further review.
Ayala’s challenge to a condition of his supervised release requiring that he cooperate with the probation officer in the collection of a DNA sample is not ripe for review on direct appeal. United States v. Carmichael, 343 F.3d 756, 761-62 (5th Cir.2003), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 1136, 124 S.Ct. 1116, 157 L.Ed.2d 943 (2004); see United States v. Riascos-Cuenu, 428 F.3d 1100, 1101-02 (5th Cir.2005), petition for cert. *831filed, (U.S. Jan. 9, 2006) (No. 8662). Accordingly, we dismiss this argument for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
