Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. EP-99-CR-1129-1-DB

--------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Raul Sotelo-Lopez appeals from the district court’s denial

of his pro se “Motion to Modify Sentence.” In that motion,

Sotelo-Lopez alleged that the Government had breached a postsentencing agreement and asked the district court to award him

specific performance by ordering the Government to file a motion

for an additional downward departure pursuant to U.S.S.G.

§ 5K1.1. The district court denied Sotelo-Lopez’s motion on the

ground that the relief requested was not permitted under FED.

R. CRIM. P. 35(c) (2002).

On appeal, Sotelo-Lopez argues that the district court

should have granted his motion pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 35(b)

(2002) and 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B). Neither of those cited

authorities permits the relief requested in Sotelo-Lopez’s

motion. Accordingly, the district court’s denial of SoteloLopez’s “Motion to Modify Sentence” is AFFIRMED.
