1Opinion of the Court

BYE, Circuit Judge.

James Alan Pamperin appeals his sentence arguing the district court 1 erred in denying his motion to compel a government motion for a downward departure pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e). We affirm.

I

Pamperin pleaded guilty without agreement to various violations of federal narcotics law and other associated offenses.

Under the terms of the agreement, the government retained sole discretion to move for a downward departure under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e) for each count independently.
