George Uriel Ibarra appeals his conviction by guilty plea and sentence for one count of importation of marijuana (21 U.S.C. §§ 952, 960) and one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute (21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)). Ibarra's contention that Sections 952, 960, and 841 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. Buckland, 277 F.3d 1173 (9th Cir.2002) (en banc) (§ 841), United States v. Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d 1174, 1175 n. 1
