MEMORANDUM **
Victor Saldivar-Quezada appeals from the 57-month sentence imposed after his guilty-plea conviction to unlawful re-entry following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
Saldivar-Quezada’s contentions are foreclosed by this circuit’s case law. See United States v. Velasquez-Reyes, 427 F.3d 1227, 1229 (9th Cir.2005) (rejecting contention that prior convictions must be proved to a jury if not admitted by the defendant); see also United States v. Weiland, 420 F.3d 1062, 1079 n. 16 (9th Cir.2005) (noting that the court continues to be bound by the Supreme Court’s holding in Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (2005)).
AFFIRMED.
