Heading: District Court's Refusal to Depart Downward

Text: 20 Ruelas argues the district court erred by refusing to depart downward pursuant to Sentencing Guideline Section 4A1.3. He argues his criminal history score of VI over-represented the seriousness of his criminal history. 21 A district court's discretionary refusal to depart from the Sentencing Guidelines is not reviewable on appeal. United States v. Eaton, 31 F.3d 789, 792-93 (9th Cir.1994). At the sentencing hearing, the district court found that Ruelas's criminal history score did not over-represent his criminal history, and it exercised its discretion not to depart downward. We lack authority to review that decision. 22 AFFIRMED.
