PER CURIAM:
Juan Hernandez Dominguez appeals from the district court’s
order applying a three-level adjustment to his offense level for
acceptance of responsibility pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
Manual § 3E1.1 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. The district
court properly denied the adjustment based on Hernandez Dominguez’s
attempted escape from the jail where he was held prior to his
conviction, his forceful restraint of a correctional officer during
the escape attempt, and his less than forthcoming discussion of his
role in the offense. USSG § 3E1.1, comment. (nn. 1, 3, 4); United
States v. Melton, 970 F.2d 1328, 1335-36 (4th Cir. 1992). Accord-
ingly, we affirm Hernandez Dominguez’s conviction and sentence. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
