PER CURIAM.
Rodney White appeals the 60-month sentence imposed by the district
1
court after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit credit card fraud,
in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029(a) and (b)(2). White argues he should
have received an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction under U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3E1.1 (1995).
We note that White fled from the police, gave false information upon
his initial arrest, escaped and eluded recapture for over a year, pleaded
guilty only six days before his scheduled trial, and received an
obstruction-of-justice enhancement under
1
The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3C1.1 (1995). We conclude the district
court did not clearly err by denying White an acceptance-of-responsibility
reduction. See United States v. Nguyen, 52 F.3d 192, 194 (8th Cir. 1995)
(standard of review); U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3E1.1, comment.
(n.1(d)) (considerations include whether defendant promptly and voluntarily
surrendered to police), (n.4) (absent extraordinary circumstances, § 3C1.1
enhancement precludes § 3E1.1 reduction) (1995).
Accordingly, we affirm.

CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
