MEMORANDUM**
David Vasquez-Campos appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea *577conviction for unlawful reentry of deported alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Vasquez-Campos contends that under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), the district court deprived him of due process by imposing a sentence greater than 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a)’s two-year maximum based on his prior aggravated felony, where he did not admit to having committed a prior criminal offense which would qualify as an aggravated felony.
Vasquez-Campos states that he presents the issue merely to preserve it in the event of ensuing favorable Supreme Court precedent, and acknowledges that his argument is foreclosed by United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411 (9th Cir.2001). Accordingly, the sentence is
AFFIRMED.
