MEMORANDUM **
Juan Zarate-Medina appeals his conviction pursuant to a conditional guilty plea and his sentence for importing marijuana. His argument challenging the constitutionality of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960 is foreclosed by United States v. Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d 1174 , 1175 n. 1 (9th Cir.2002) and United States v. Mendoza-Paz, 286 F.3d 1104 (9th Cir.2002). This court has also rejected his claim that the government was required to prove that he knew the quantity and type of the drugs involved in the offense. United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634, 644 (9th Cir.2002).
Accordingly, the conviction and sentence are
