MEMORANDUM**

Sergio Melo-Santiago appeals the sentence imposed following his jury conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

Pursuant to Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and Blakely v. Washington, — U.S. -, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), Melo-Santiago contends that the district court erred in enhancing his sentence based upon facts that were not alleged in the indictment, proven beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury nor admitted by the defendant. The sole basis for the sentencing enhancement was Melo-Santiago’s prior drug trafficking conviction, and his contention is foreclosed by our holdings in United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411, 414 (9th Cir. 2000), and United States v. Quintana-Quintana, 383 F.3d 1052, 1052-53 (9th Cir. 2004).

AFFIRMED.
