Before LOKEN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Dean Mark Prince appeals from the final judgment entered in the district court1
after he pleaded guilty to falsely making counterfeit obligations of the United States,
in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 471. The district court sentenced him to thirty-three months
imprisonment and three years supervised release. For reversal, he argues the district
court erred in not granting him a downward departure under U.S. Sentencing

      1
        The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
Guidelines Manual § 5H1.4, p.s. (1998) on grounds that his Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) constitutes an extraordinary physical impairment.

      Upon careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court’s refusal
to depart in this case was an unreviewable exercise of discretion. See United States v.
Eagle, 133 F.3d 608, 611 (8th Cir. 1998).

      In addition, we deny the pending motion.

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.

      A true copy.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
