Ramirez-Angeles

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Manuel Ramirez-Angeles appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea for being a deported alien found in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 . *582 Pursuant to Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 , 120 S.Ct. 2348 , 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and Blakely v. Washington, — U.S. -, 124 S.Ct. 2531 , 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), Ramirez-Angeles contends that the district court erred in enhancing his sentence based upon facts that were not alleged in the indictment, proven beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury nor admitted by the defendant. The sole basis for the sentencing enhancement was Ramirez-Angeles’s prior “crime of violence” conviction, and his contention is foreclosed by our recent decision in United States v. Quintana-Quintana, 383 F.3d 1052, 1052-53 (9th Cir.2004).

AFFIRMED.
