   MEMORANDUM

Gerardo Castillo-Garcia appeals the one-year term of supervised release imposed after he pleaded guilty to unlawful entry and failure to register with immigration officials, in violation of 8 U.S.C. §§ 1302(a), 1306(a), and 1325(a)(2). We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

The district court’s decision to impose supervised release constitutes a discretionary refusal to depart downward from the Sentencing Guidelines. See United States v. Chinske, 978 F.2d 557, 559 (9th Cir.1992). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to review Castillo-Garcia’s contention that the district court erred by imposing a supervised release term based on a factor not included in 18 U.S.C. §§ 3583(a) & (c). See United States v. Wetchie, 207 F.3d 632, 636 (9th Cir.2000) (“[A] discretionary refusal to depart downward is not reviewable in this court.”).

DISMISSED.
