   MEMORANDUM

Hector Baca-Quiroz appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Baca-Quiroz contends that the district court erred by failing to consider that the lack of a “fast-track” program in the District of Montana creates an unwarranted sentencing disparity contrary to the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(6). Baca-Quiroz acknowledges that his contention is foreclosed by United States v. Gonzalez-Zotelo, 556 F.3d 736, 740-41 (9th Cir.2009), and that he raises it to preserve it for potential future review.

AFFIRMED.
