United States v. Berges Romero

40 F. App'x 662

Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

STAPLETON, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Luis Eduardo Berges Romero pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute 50 grams of crack and distribution of more than 5 grams of crack. Prior to sentencing, the government filed a § 5K1.1 motion based on his cooperation. The District Court determined that Berges Romero’s mandatory minimum penalty was 120 months, and that his sentencing guidelines range was 121 to 151 months. The District Court departed downward and imposed a sentence of 108 months of imprisonment, ten years of supervised release, and a special assessment of $200.

The sole issue raised in this appeal is whether the District Court erred “in failing to give [Berges Romero] sufficient credit for his cooperation.” Appellant’s Br. at 3. We are without jurisdiction to review the extent of a downward departure granted by the District Court, United States v. Khalil, 132 F.3d 897 (3d Cir. 1997).

This appeal will be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
