*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent

HL/Inventory
Huerta-Cabrera contends that his sentence violated Apprendi v. New Jersey,
530 U.S. 466 (2000), because it was based on a prior aggravated felony conviction
not charged or admitted. Huerta-Cabrera concedes that his argument is foreclosed,
see e.g., United States v. Salazar-Lopez, 506 F.3d 748, 751 n. 3 (9th Cir.2007);
United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411 (9th Cir. 2000); and that he raises
it to preserve it for potential future review.
AFFIRMED.
