MEMORANDUM **

Todd Edward Sniffen appeals the 15-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to escape from federal custody, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 751(a).

Sniffen contends the district court erred by declining to grant a downward departure based on his efforts to seek rehabilitation. We lack jurisdiction to review discretionary refusals to depart from a prescribed sentencing guideline range. United States v. Morales, 898 F.2d 99, 101-02 (9th Cir. 1990). Because the district court did not rest its decision on an erroneous belief that it lacked the authority to do so, we lack jurisdiction. Id.

DISMISSED.
