UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JORGE RUIZ-NUNEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 7:05-CR-243-ALL
--------------------
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jorge Ruiz-Nunez (Ruiz) appeals the sentence following his
guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry following deportation
in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He contends that the district
court erred in refusing to depart downward on grounds of cultural
assimilation. The record reflects that the downward departure
was denied because the district court believed it was unwarranted
based on the facts of this case. We lack jurisdiction to review
this ruling. See United States v. Hernandez, 457 F.3d 416, 424
(5th Cir. 2006). Consequently, the appeal is DISMISSED.
