Fulbruge III Clerk No. 06-41515 Conference Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff-Appellee v. ALTON LAMAR MARTIN Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 5:06-CR-627-ALL Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Alton Lamar Martin appeals the 39-month sentence he received following his guilty-plea conviction for transporting illegal aliens for profit, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324. His sole argument on appeal is that the district court erred in refusing his request for a downward departure, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3(e), on the ground that his criminal history score overrepresented his criminal past. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 06-41515 We lack jurisdiction to consider the argument. See United States v. Hernandez, 457 F.3d 416, 424 (5th Cir. 2006). The appeal is DISMISSED. 2
