PER CURIAM.
Alondra Rebolledo appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after she
pleaded guilty to drug and firearm offenses. She challenges a drug-premises
enhancement and the denial of her motion for a downward departure or variance.
Upon careful review, we conclude the district court did not clearly err by
concluding that Rebolledo maintained a drug premises. See United States v. Clark,
135 F.4th 622, 625 (8th Cir. 2025); United States v. Miller, 698 F.3d 699, 706-07 (8th
Cir. 2012). We cannot review the denial of Rebolledo’s request for a downward
departure, as the district court acknowledged its authority to depart, and Rebolledo
does not claim the court acted with an unconstitutional motive. See United States v.
Carter, 960 F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (8th Cir. 2020). We also conclude the district court
did not abuse its discretion in denying a downward variance. See United States v.
Lewis, 593 F.3d 765, 773 (8th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, we affirm.
