   MEMORANDUM

Jose Alfonso Espinosa-Herrera appeals his conviction by guilty plea and the sentence imposed for importation of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960.

Espinosa-Herrera’s contention that 21 U.S.C. § 960 is facially unconstitutional in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and that Harris v. United States, 536 U.S. 545, 122 S.Ct. 2406, 153 L.Ed.2d 524 (2002), overrules United States v. Buckland, 289 F.3d 558, 562 (9th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 535 U.S. 1105, 122 S.Ct. 2314, 152 L.Ed.2d 1067 (2002) and United States v. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 123 S.Ct. 573, 154 L.Ed.2d 459 (2002), is foreclosed by United States v. Hernandez, 322 F.3d 592 (9th Cir.2003).

Espinosa-Herrera’s contention that a mens rea requirement applies to the elements of drug type and quantity is foreclosed by United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634, 644 (9th Cir.2002) and Hernandez, 322 F.3d at 602.

AFFIRMED.
