Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Esther Benita Kahut appeals the sentence imposed following her guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Kahut contends that the district court erred in not departing downward an additional two levels, after granting a four level downward departure, based on her deteriorating physical condition. We have no jurisdiction to "review a defendant's appeal from the district court's discretion in fixing the extent of a downward departure." United States v. Vizcarra-Angulo, 904 F.2d 22, 23 (9th Cir.1990). Accordingly, the appeal is
DISMISSED.
