Santiago Aguilera-Guerrero appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being found in the United States following deportation subsequent to an aggravated felony conviction, a violation *547 of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Aguilera raises two issues that he concedes are foreclosed, but he seeks to preserve them for further review.

Aguilera argues for the first time on appeal that his prior conviction for possession of a controlled substance should not be considered an “aggravated felony” under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(C). This argument is foreclosed by our decision in United States v. Caicedo-Cuero, 312 F.3d 697, 705-711 (5th Cir. 2002), cert. denied, 538 U.S. 1021, 123 S.Ct. 1948, 155 L.Ed.2d 864 (2003).

Also for the first time on appeal, Aguilera argues that the “felony” and “aggravated felony” provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(1) and (2) are unconstitutional in view of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). He concedes that this argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), but states that he is raising it to preserve it for further review. Apprendi did not overrule Almendarez-Torres. United States v. Hemandez-Avalos, 251 F.3d 505, 507 & n. 1 (5th Cir. 2001). We must follow Almendarez-Torres until the Supreme Court overrules it. Id.

AFFIRMED.
