   MEMORANDUM

Stafford Eugene Anderson, II, appeals from the 180-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for drug trafficking conspiracy, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A), and distribution of controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

■Anderson contends that the Fair Sentencing Act applies retroactively to preclude the mandatory minimum sentence imposed by the district court for his crack cocaine conviction. This argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Baptist, 646 F.3d 1225, 1228-29 (9th Cir.2011) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
