Pedro Ochoa-Cornejo (Ochoa) appeals his guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry *497into the United States following an aggravated felony conviction in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. For the first time on appeal, Ochoa argues that the sentencing provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(1) & (2) are unconstitutional in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). Ochoa acknowledges that his argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), but he seeks to preserve the issue for Supreme Court review. Apprendi did not overrule Almendarez-Torres. See Apprendi, 530 U.S. at 489-90; United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
