United States v. Sandoval-Enriquez

MEMORANDUM **

Guadalupe Sandoval-Enriquez appeals from his sentence following his guilty plea conviction for unlawful reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

Sandoval-Enriquez contends that Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), requires a remand to the district court because a prior aggravated felony conviction should be a fact determined by a jury and proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Sandoval-Enriquez acknowledges that this issue is foreclosed by United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411 (9th Cir.2000), cert. denied — U.S.-, 121 S.Ct. 1503, 149 L.Ed.2d 388 (2001), and raises the issue solely in order to preserve it in the event the Supreme Court decides differently in the future. Thus, we do not consider it further.

AFFIRMED.
