Text: 12 Ivy pleaded guilty to engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. The pre-sentence report indicated 4 criminal history points--2 for tampering with a vehicle in January 1985 and 2 for taking a vehicle without the owner's consent in August 1985. At sentencing, Ivy argued that the two prior convictions were related, represented the same 100-day sentence, and should be counted together. After looking at the documents relating to the prior sentences, the district court determined they were in fact separate. Ivy then moved for a downward departure under U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.3, arguing his criminal history category grossly over-represented the seriousness of his criminal history. The district court refused to depart and sentenced Ivy to 262 months imprisonment and 5 years supervised release. 13 On appeal, Ivy now argues that, under U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.1(c), his second misdemeanor sentence should have been assigned 1 point rather than 2 because the sentence for that conviction was fully and totally suspended. We review a district court's application of U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.1 for clear error. United States v. Urbizu, 4 F.3d 636, 637 (8th Cir.1993). Section 4A1.1(b) provides that 2 points are added for each prior sentence of at least 60 days but not exceeding 1 year and 1 month; Sec. 4A1.1(c) provides that 1 point is added for each prior sentence that is less than 60 days. A sentence that was totally suspended or stayed is assigned 1 point under Sec. 4A1.1(c). U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.2(a)(3). Criminal history points, however, are based on the sentence pronounced, not the length of time actually served. U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.2, comment. (n.2). Here, it is unclear whether Ivy served two 100-day sentences or was allowed to serve one 100-day sentence for both offenses, but the sentence pronounced for the second offense was a suspended sentence with a probation requirement that Ivy spend 100 days in the county jail. A sentence of probation is to be treated as a sentence under Sec. 4A1.1(c) unless a condition of probation requiring imprisonment of at least sixty days was imposed. U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.2, comment. (n.2). We believe Ivy's sentence merited 2 points under Sec. 4A1.1(b), rather than 1 point under Sec. 4A1.1(c). 14 Ivy also argues the district court erred in refusing to depart downward under U.S.S.G. Sec. 4A1.3. A district court's refusal to depart downward under that section is nonreviewable. United States v. Hall, 7 F.3d 1394, 1396 (8th Cir.1993). 15 Accordingly, the judgments are affirmed.
