CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
Defendant Sullivan appeals the sentence imposed upon him for violating 18 U.S.C. § 876, which prohibits the mailing of threatening communications. He contends that the district court erred both in refusing a downward departure on grounds of diminished mental capacity and in imposing a six-level increase in base offense level for "conduct evidencing an intent to carry out [his] threat[s]." USSG § 2A6.1(b)(1).
