Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Lino Santana PEDROZA, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 02-30294.
D.C. No. CR-98-00059-EJL.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted May 12, 2003.
Decided May 14, 2003.
Before PREGERSON, REINHARDT, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Lino Santana Pedroza appeals the 130-month amended sentence imposed after the district court granted the government's Fed.R.Crim.P. 35 motion to reduce Pedroza's sentence for substantial assistance. We dismiss.
Pedroza contends that the district court abused its discretion by departing downward only three levels, rather than five levels, for his substantial assistance to the government. See U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1.
We lack jurisdiction to review this contention because there is no indication that the district court faded to recognize its authority to depart further. See United States v. Hanna, 49 F.3d 572, 576 (9th Cir.1995) (stating that a district court's discretionary refusal to depart downward or discretionary decision in fixing the extent of a downward departure pursuant to section 5K1.1 is unreviewable on appeal); United States v. Garcia-Garcia, 927 F.2d 489, 491 (9th Cir.1991) (per curiam).
DISMISSED.
