United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 99-1053 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the District * of Nebraska.

Victor M. Ojeda, also known as * Victor Meduras, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: August 23, 1999 Filed: August 26, 1999 ___________ Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Victor M. Ojeda appeals the sentence imposed by the district court after Ojeda pleaded guilty to distribution of 100 or more grams of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Ojeda contends the district court erroneously applied a two- level weapon enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2D1.1(b)(1) (1995). The alleged error is unreviewable, however, because the sentence Ojeda received is still a downward departure from the Guidelines range that would have resulted if he had prevailed on his challenge to the weapon enhancement. See United States v. Wyatt, 26 F.3d 863, 864 (8th Cir. 1994) (per curiam).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
