MEMORANDUM
Albert Serna contends that the government breached his plea agreement by failing to recommend a substantial assistance departure under U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1. Serna failed to raise this issue below, however, and therefore waived it. See United States v. Belden, 957 F.2d 671, 674-75 (9th Cir.1992); United States v. Flores-Payon, 942 F.2d 556, 558 (9th Cir.1991).
AFFIRMED.
