United States v. Gonzalez
Opinion
Antonio Gonzalez pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and was sentenced to 120 months of imprisonment and a five-year term of supervised release. Gonzalez argues for the first time on appeal that the provisions found in 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) and (b) are unconstitutional under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). As he concedes, this issue is foreclosed. See United States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582 (5th Cir. 2000).
AFFIRMED.
