United States First Circuit

Sentence for conviction of illegal reentry into the United States pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1326 is affirmed over defendant's claim that the fact of his prior conviction for an aggravated felony had to be alleged in the indictment and proven beyond a reasonable doubt in order for him to be sentenced to a term greater than the two-year statutory maximum established in section 1326(a), where his argument is foreclosed by binding Supreme Court precedent.
