                                              Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ALTON LAMAR MARTIN

                                              Defendant-Appellant

                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Texas
                          USDC No. 5:06-CR-627-ALL

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Alton Lamar Martin appeals the 39-month sentence he received following
his guilty-plea conviction for transporting illegal aliens for profit, in violation of
8 U.S.C. § 1324. His sole argument on appeal is that the district court erred in
refusing his request for a downward departure, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3(e),
on the ground that his criminal history score overrepresented his criminal past.

      *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
                                No. 06-41515

We lack jurisdiction to consider the argument. See United States v. Hernandez,
457 F.3d 416, 424 (5th Cir. 2006).
      The appeal is DISMISSED.
