United States v. Martinez-Castillo

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Edgar Martinez-Castillo appeals his 37-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to being found in the United States after illegal re-entry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Martinez-Castillo contends that the district court violated his constitutional rights by imposing a sentence in excess of the two-year maximum set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) based on a prior conviction that was neither proved to a jury nor admitted during the plea colloquy. This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Weiland, 420 F.3d 1062, 1079 & n. 16 (9th Cir. 2005), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 126 S.Ct. 1911, — L.Ed.2d-(2006).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
