PER CURIAM:
This appeal presents the question whether district courts can impose a sentence for illegal entry into the United States in excess of the two-year maximum penalty erroneously stated on INS Form I-294. The answer is "yes": 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2), clearly states that aliens deported after a conviction for aggravated felonies face a fifteen-year maximum sentence, if they re-enter this country.
