1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GARLAND.
GARLAND, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, defendant Juan Brooke challenges the sentence he received after pleading guilty to a drug conspiracy charge. At sentencing, the district court denied Brooke’s request to depart downward from the applicable United States Sentencing Guidelines range based on his age and physical condition. Because the district court properly understood the guidelines and its authority to depart, and did not make clearly erroneous factual findings, we affirm the court’s decision not to grant the defendant a departure.
