United States v. Saucedo-Cruz

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Raul Saucedo-Cruz appeals his 70-month sentence imposed following his jury conviction of being found in the United States after illegal re-entry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742, and we affirm.

Saucedo-Cruz contends that the district court violated his Sixth Amendment rights by imposing a sentence in excess of the two-year maximum set forth m 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) based on a prior conviction that was not proved to the jury. This contention is foreclosed. See United States v. Weiland, 420 F.3d 1062, 1079 & n. 16 (9th Cir. 2005), petition for cert. filed, No. 05-8847 (filed Jan. 23, 2006); United States v. Moreno-Hernandez, 419 F.3d 906, 914 & n. 8 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 126 S.Ct. 636, 163 L.Ed.2d 515 (2005); United States v. Von Brown, 417 F.3d 1077, 1078-79 (9th Cir. 2005) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
