Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Luis Manuel Sayas-Montoya appeals from his guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry after deportation as well as from the revocation of supervised release relat ing to a prior conviction for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He argues that the "felony" and "aggravated felony" provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1826(b)(1) and (2) are unconstitutional in light of the Court's decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and that his sentence is improper under Blakely v. Washington, — U.S.-, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004). These arguments are, as he concedes, foreclosed. See AlmendarezTorres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998); United States v. Pineiro, 377 F.3d 464, 465-66 (5th Cir.2004), petition for cert. filed (U.S. July 14, 2004) (No. 04-5263); United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir.2000). The judgments of the district court are AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
