¶1

MEMORANDUM*

¶2

Robert James Thomas appeals his guilty plea conviction and sentence for bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113. Thomas contends that the district court erred by denying his motion for a downward departure based upon his diminished capacity at the time of his offense and on the basis that his criminal history category overrepresented the seriousness of his past misdemeanor convictions. We lack jurisdiction to review the district court's discretionary refusal to depart downward. See United States v. Heim, 15 F.3d 830, 833 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 115 S.Ct. 55 (1994).

¶3

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
