Per Curiam. The judgment is summarily affirmed. Loc. __________

R. 27.1.

1. As defendant acknowledges, the court was not bound

by the version of facts attached to the plea agreement,

U.S.S.G. 6B1.4(d), or the plea agreement itself.

Consequently, the court was free to consider an adjustment

under 2D1.1(b)(1). As defendant has neither argued that

such an adjustment was unsupported by the evidence nor

furnished a transcript of the evidentiary hearing, we do not

consider the matter further.

2. Having failed to show that he ever requested a

downward departure, defendant may not now premise error on

the court's failure to depart. United States v. Field, 39 _______________________
