MEMORANDUM **
Rosa Maria Contreras-Aleantar appeals her 37-month sentence following her guilty plea conviction for one count of conspiring to bring in, transport and harbor undocumented aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324 (a)(1)(A)(i), (ii), (iii) and (v)(1). We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
Contreras-Aleantar contends that the district court committed reversible error by failing to depart downward based on aberrant conduct, family circumstances, diminished mental capacity, or a combination of these factors. 1 See U.S.S.G. Ch. 1, Pt. *812 A, § 4(d); §§ 5K2.13, 5H1.6; United States v. Cook, 938 F.2d 149, 152-53 (9th Cir.1991) (stating that sentencing court may consider a combination of factors when considering a downward departure).
We lack jurisdiction to review Contreras-Alcantar’s appeal, however, because the district court acknowledged it had the authority to depart, but chose not to exercise its discretion based on the facts presented. 2 See United States v. Davoudi, 172 F.3d 1130, 1133 (9th Cir.1999).
DISMISSED.
