    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee,
    versus
    LEODEGARIO GUZMAN,
    Defendant-Appellant.
    --------------------
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 7:04-CR-154-1
    --------------------
    Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Leodegario Guzman appeals his conviction and sentence
    following his guilty plea to importation of more than one
    kilogram of heroin into the United States.    Guzman correctly
    notes that his argument, made for the first time on appeal, that
    the district court lacked jurisdiction to convict and sentence
    him because 
    21 U.S.C. § 841
     is unconstitutional under Apprendi v.
    New Jersey, 
    530 U.S. 466
     (2000), is foreclosed by United States
    v. Slaughter, 
    238 F.3d 580
    , 582 (5th Cir. 2000).
    *
    Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
    under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    No. 05-40830
    -2-
    Guzman also argues for the first time on appeal that the
    district court abused its discretion when it imposed a condition
    of supervised release that requires him to cooperate in the
    collection of his DNA.   Guzman’s claim is not ripe for review.
    See United States v. Riascos-Cuenu, 
    428 F.3d 1100
    , 1101-02 (5th
    Cir. 2005), petition for cert. filed (Jan. 9, 2006) (No. 05-
    8662).   Therefore, this court lacks jurisdiction to review this
    claim.
    AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART.
