MEMORANDUM **
Oscar Meza-Vera appeals from his guilty plea conviction and sentence for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Meza-Vera contends that in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), his sentence should not have exceeded the two-year statutory maximum sentence pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Meza-Vera’s contentions are foreclosed by United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411 (9th Cir.2000), cert, denied, 532 U.S. 966, 121 S.Ct. 1503, 149 L.Ed.2d 388 (2001); United States v. Castillo-Rivera, 244 F.3d 1020, 1024 (9th Cir.2001); and United States v. Martinez-Martinez, 295 F.3d 1041, 1043 (9th Cir.2002).
AFFIRMED.
