MEMORANDUM*
Gabriel Orozco appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to one count of being an illegal alien found in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(1). The district court granted Orozco's request to depart downward from criminal history category VI to criminal history category IV and imposed sentence at the bottom of the resulting guidelines range.
Orozco now asserts that the district court erred by refusing to depart further. This contention is waived because the district court granted Orozco exactly the sentence he requested. See United States v. Flores-Payon, 942 F.2d 556, 558 (9th Cir.1991) (only in exceptional circumstances will the court of appeals consider arguments raised for the first time on appeal).
AFFIRMED.
