UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jorge PARRA-SOTELO, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 04-40991

Conference Calendar.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

June 21, 2005.

Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *

Jorge Parra-Sotelo pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute more *649than five kilograms of cocaine and was sentenced to 120 months of imprisonment, five years of supervised release, and a $200 fine. Parra-Sotelo argues for the first time on appeal that the statute of conviction, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a), (b), is unconstitutional under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). Parra-Sotelo’s appeal waiver does not bar review of this issue because he did not waive his right to appeal his conviction. Nevertheless, as he concedes, this issue is foreclosed. See United States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582 (5th Cir.2000).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
