Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Gertrudis Leon-Ibarra appeals her conviction, following a guilty plea, for importation of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952 and 960.
Leon-Ibarra's contention that 21 U.S.C. § 960 is facially unconstitutional following Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and that United States v. Harris, 536 U.S. 545, 122 S.Ct. 2406, 153 L.Ed.2d 524 (2002), overrules United States v. Buckland, 289 F.3d 558, 562 (9th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 535 U.S. 1105, 122 S.Ct. 2314, 152 L.Ed.2d 1067 (2002), and United States v. Mendozar-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 123 S.Ct. 573, 154 L.Ed.2d 459 (2002), is foreclosed by United States v. Hernandez, 322 F.3d 592 (9th Cir.2003). Leon-Ibarra's contention that the indictment was defective because it did not allege that Leon-Ibarra had the mens rea as to the drug type and quantity is foreclosed by United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 123 S.Ct. 572, 154 L.Ed.2d 458 (2002). Leon-Ibarra's conviction is
AFFIRMED.
