MEMORANDUM **

Isau Medina-Aispuro appeals from his 87-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea convictions for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 , and distribution of five or more grams of actual methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 (a)(1) and (b)(l)(B)(viii).
