On the contrary, the district court did depart downward, 1 but not to the extent Ready would have liked. We lack the authority to consider a challenge to the extent of a downward departure under the Guidelines and therefore must dismiss his appeal. See United States v. Riggins, 40 F.3d 1055, 1058 (9th Cir.1994); United States v. Morales, 898 F.2d 99, 103 (9th Cir.1990).
