                                   ___________

Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Jorge Alcantara-Torres challenges the 75-month sentence imposed by
the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense.     He argues
that the district court erred in not sentencing him at the lower end of the
applicable Guidelines sentencing range.          This court, however, has no
jurisdiction to review this sentence within the Guidelines range.     See 18
U.S.C. § 3742(a); United States v. Woodrum, 959 F.2d 100, 101 (8th Cir.
1992) (per curiam).

     Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

     1
      The Honorable Lyle E. Strom, United States District Judge for
the District of Nebraska.
