MEMORANDUM**

2

Joel Fabela-Alanis appeals his sentence under the United States Sentencing Guidelines ("Guidelines"), imposed following conviction on a guilty plea, for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846, and 18 U.S.C. § 2. Fabela-Alanis contends that the district court erred by abdicating its discretion to depart below the government's sentencing recommendation. We dismiss the appeal.

3

The extent of a district court's downward departure from the applicable Guidelines range is not reviewable on appeal. United States v. Dickey, 924 F.2d 836, 838 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 383 (1991).

DISMISSED.
