MEMORANDUM**
Pedro Labra-Valladares appeals his sentence imposed following his guilty plea to being an alien found in the United States after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He contends that his 46-month sentence exceeded the statutory maximum allowed under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), because he did not admit, and the government did not plead and prove to a jury, his prior aggravated felony conviction, which the court used to increase his term pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) and the United States Sentencing Guidelines. This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Quintana-Quintana, 383 F.3d 1052, 1053 (9th Cir.2004) (order denying rehearing and rehearing en banc).
AFFIRMED.
