UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Frank David REYNOLDS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 02-35548.
    D.C. Nos. CV-01-03087-RE, CR-97-30001-JAR.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Oct. 7, 2002.
    
    Decided Oct. 10, 2002.
    
      Before FERNANDEZ, GRABER, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Federal prisoner Frank Reynolds appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence for his conviction for manufacturing marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Reynolds contends that his prior waiver of his right to challenge his sentence was rendered invalid because his sentence is illegal under the subsequently-decided Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). Reynolds’ contention is foreclosed by United States v. Sanchez-Cervantes, 282 F.3d 664, 671 (9th Cir.2002) (holding that the rule announced in Apprendi does not apply retroactively to cases on collateral review).

AFFIRMED.
