   MEMORANDUM

Omar Campos-Montiel appeals the 86-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to unlawful reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Campos-Montiel contends that the reasoning in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), limits the holding in Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), such that Campos-Montiel’s guilty plea to an indictment that did not allege a prior felony conviction subjects him to the two-year maximum sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Campos-Montiel, who states that he pursues this appeal to preserve the issue for further appeal to the Supreme Court, acknowledges that his contention is foreclosed by United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411 (9th Cir.2000). Accordingly, Campos-Montiel’s sentence is

AFFIRMED.
