United States v. Nunez-Martinez
United States v. Nunez-Martinez
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Ismael Nunez-Martinez appeals from his conditional guilty plea conviction and
Nunez-Martinez’s contention that 21 U.S.C. § 960 is facially unconstitutional following Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and that United States v. Harris, 536 U.S. 545, 122 S.Ct. 2406, 153 L.Ed.2d 524 (2002), overrules United States v. Buckland, 289 F.3d 558, 562 (9th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 535 U.S. 1105, 122 S.Ct. 2314, 152 L.Ed.2d 1067 (2002), and United States v. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 573, 154 L.Ed.2d 459 (2002), is foreclosed by United States v. Hernandez, 314 F.3d 430, 438 (9th Cir. 2002). Nunez-Martinez’s contention that the indictment was defective because it did not allege that Nunez-Martinez had the mens rea as to the drug type and quantity is foreclosed by United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 572, 154 L.Ed.2d 458 (2002). Nunez-Martinez’s conviction is
AFFIRMED.
