United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT June 21, 2006 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 05-41230 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus JOSE ANTONIO REGALADO-GARCIA, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 7:05-CR-1-ALL -------------------- Before STEWART, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Jose Antonio Regalado-Garcia (Regalado) appeals his conviction and sentence following his guilty plea to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Regalado correctly notes that his argument, made for the first time on appeal, that the district court lacked jurisdiction to convict and sentence him because 21 U.S.C. § 841 is unconstitutional under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), is foreclosed by United States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582 (5th Cir. 2000). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
