MEMORANDUM **
Victor Manuel Dominguez appeals his conviction and 12-month and 1-day prison sentence imposed following his guilty plea to importation of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Dominguez contends that 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960 are unconstitutional pursuant to Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). Our holdings in United States v. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104, 1110 (9th Cir.2002) (§ 960), and United States v. Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d 1174, 1175 n. 1 (9th Cir.2002) (§ 952) foreclose this argument.
In the alternative, Dominguez contends that the government was required to allege in the indictment that Dominguez knew the type and quantity of controlled substance he was alleged to have imported. This contention fails based on our holding in United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634, 644 (9th Cir.2002) (holding that Ap-prendi does not require the government to prove that defendant knew type and amount of controlled substance).
Dominguez’s final contention is that the district court committed plain error, see United States v. Vonn, — U.S.—, 122 S.Ct. 1043, 1046, 152 L.Ed.2d 90 (2002), by failing to advise him during the plea colloquy that the government was required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the drug type and quantity pursuant to Federal Rule Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1). Assuming it was error, see United States v. Jordan, 291 F.3d 1091, — , 2002 WL 1067325, at *2 (9th Cir.2002) (concluding that drug quantity must be pleaded in the indictment and proved beyond a reasonable doubt) and United States v. Seesing, 234 F.3d 456, 461-62 (9th Cir.2000) (as amended) (stating that sentencing court must advise defendant of every element of the offense), Dominguez’s substantial rights were not violated because his sentence was below 60 months, the lowest statutory minimum allowable for importation of any amount of any controlled substance. See 21 U.S.C. § 960; United States v. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d at 1110—11.
AFFIRMED.
