   MEMORANDUM

Farrell Gonzalez appeals his conviction by guilty plea to one count of importation of marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960.

Gonzalez’s contention that Sections 952 and 960 are 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. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 123 S.Ct. 573, 154 L.Ed.2d 459 (2002) (Section 960), and United States v. Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d 1174, 1175 n. 1 (9th Cir.2002) (Section 952). His contention that the indictment should be dismissed because it did not allege mens rea as to drug type and quantity is foreclosed by United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634 (9th Cir.2002). His contention that United States v. Harris, 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 Mendoza-Paz is foreclosed by United States v. Hernandez, 322 F.3d 592 (9th Cir.2003).

AFFIRMED.
