Fulbruge III Clerk No. 05-41270 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff-Appellee v. MICHAEL TEJEDA Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 7:00-CR-613-1 Before WIENER, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Michael Tejeda appeals the sentence imposed upon his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. See 21 U.S.C. §§ 841, 846. Tejeda argues that the Government breached an implied promise, or bargained away its discretion, to file a motion for downward departure pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1. However, there is nothing in the record to indicate that the Government made, much less breached, a promise to file a § 5K1.1 motion for a downward departure or that * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 05-41270 it “bargained away its discretion” to file such a motion. See United States v. Hernandez, 17 F.3d 78, 82 (5th Cir. 1994). Tejeda’s argument to the contrary is without merit. AFFIRMED. 2
