MEMORANDUM ***

Jose Cruz Martinez-Hernandez pled guilty to being found in the United States after having been officially deported, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). He was given a 16-level sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A) for having committed an aggravated felony prior to deportation.

The 16-level enhancement does not violate the Supreme Court’s holding in Ap*620prendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). See United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411 (9th Cir. 2000), amended (Feb. 8, 2001).

AFFIRMED.
