APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO

Daniel F. Lopez Romo, United States Attorney, Ivan Dominquez, Assistant United States Attorney, and Jose A. Quiles-Espinosa, Senior Litigation Counsel, on brief for appellee.
D.Puerto Rico
AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Contrary to appellant's contention, the supervised release provision of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (ADAA), Pub. L. No. 99-570, 100 Stat. 3207, became effective on the date of the ADAA's enactment, i.e., October 27, 1986.   Gozlon-Peretz v. United States, 498 U.S. 395 (1991).  The no-parole provisions of the ADAA became effective on that date, as well.   United States v. De Los Santos-Himitola, 924 F.2d 380, 381 (1st Cir. 1991).  And, although Gozlon-Peretz involved 21 U.S.C. § 841 (controlled substances), we have held that its rationale applies equally to the parallel provisions in 21 U.S.C. § 960 (controlled substance on board vessel subject to jurisdiction of United States).   Padilla Palacios v. United States, 932 F.2d 31, 33-34 (1st Cir. 1991).  The appellant is not eligible for parole and his sentence, which included a 5 year term of supervised release, was lawful.
