PER CURIAM.
Advertisement
Defendant Donald Roy contends that the district court erred in failing to make a downward departure under § 5K2.13 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines (for diminished capacity) and under U.S.S.G. § 5K2.16 (for voluntary disclosure). Roy's failure to request a downward departure under either section in the district court forecloses our consideration of the issue. See United States v. Field, 39 F.3d 15, 21 (1st Cir.1994), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 115 S.Ct. 1806 (1995).
To the extent Roy is arguing that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not move for a departure under §§ 5K2.13, 5K2.16, the argument is without merit, for there was scant, if any, evidentiary support for a departure. To the extent Roy may be premising an ineffective assistance claim on counsel's failure adequately to develop the record, the matter is not presently reviewable. See United States v. Jadusingh, 12 F.3d 1162, 1169-70 (1st Cir.1994).
The sentence is summarily affirmed. See Loc. R. 27.1.
