MEMORANDUM

Carlos Espinoza-Ibarra appeals the 33-month sentence imposed after his guilty-plea conviction for one count of being an illegal alien found in the United States following removal, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We lack jurisdiction and dismiss.

Espinoza-Ibarra contends that the district court abused its discretion by only granting him a two-level downward departure for the minor nature of his previous aggravated felony, instead of the four lev els he requested. We lack jurisdiction to review the extent of a discretionary downward departure. United States v. Riggins, 40 F.3d 1055, 1058 (9th Cir.1994).

Espinoza-Ibarra also contends that the district court abused its discretion by not granting a downward departure for his extraordinary acceptance of responsibility. We lack jurisdiction to review the district court’s discretionary decision not to grant a downward departure. See United States v. Tam, 240 F.3d 797, 805 (9th Cir.2001).

DISMISSED.
