UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Derly DE LA GARZA, Defendant-Appellant, 186 F. App'x 463

PER CURIAM: Derly De La Garza appeals from his guilty plea conviction for possession with intent to distribute 8.84 grams of cocaine base. De La Garza correctly notes that his argument, made for the first time on appeal, that the district court lacked jurisdiction to convict and sentence him because 21 U.S.C. § 841 is unconstitutional under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), is foreclosed by United States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582 (5th Cir. 2000). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5th Cir.

R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
