MEMORANDUM **

Jose Guadalupe Rodriguez-Sanchez appeals his conviction and 8-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for importation of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 & 960. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742 and 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm.

New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 , 120 S.Ct. 2348 , 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), is foreclosed by our decisions in United States v. Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d 1174 , 1175 n. 1 (9th Cir.2002) and United States v. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104,1110 (9th Cir.2002).

Rodriguez-Sanchez’s contention that the Supreme Court’s decision in Harris v. United States, 536 U.S. 545 , 122 S.Ct. 2406 , 153 L.Ed.2d 524…
