    Before: HUG, O’SCANNLAIN and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Jorge Felix-Ramirez appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to unlawful reentry of a deported alien in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Felix-Ramirez contends that his sentence in excess of two years, based on a sentencing enhancement under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) for a prior drug trafficking conviction, is illegal and violated his Sixth Amendment rights under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). As Felix-Ramirez acknowledges, his contention has been rejected by this court. See United States v. Quintana-Quintana, 383 F.3d 1052 (9th Cir.2004).

AFFIRMED.
