Rodarte-Soto

MEMORANDUM **

Federal prisoner Jorge Rodarte-Soto appeals the sentence imposed upon revocation of his term of supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742 , and we affirm.

Rodarte-Soto contends that 18 U.S.C. § 3583 , which authorizes the imposition of a term of supervised release, is unconstitutional as applied under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 , 120 S.Ct. 2348 , 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). We disagree.

The imposition of supervised release is part of the sentence to be imposed following conviction for a crime. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583 (a); United States v. Soto-Olivas, 44 F.3d 788, 790 (9th Cir.1995) (noting that the entire sentence, including the term for supervised release, is the punishment for the original crime). Because the imposition of supervised release did not increase Rodarte-Soto’s sentence beyond the prescribed statutory maximum, Apprendi is not implicated. See United States v. Liero, 298 F.3d 1175, 1177-78 (9th Cir.2002), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1132 , 123 S.Ct. 913 , 154 L.Ed.2d 820 (2003).

AFFIRMED.
