in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. We have jurisdiction pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Cortez-Arreola contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing
to grant his request for safety valve relief. The district court did not clearly err by
determining that Cortez-Arreola failed to disclose all of the information he had
concerning the offense. See United States v. Washman, 128 F.3d 1305, 1307-08
(9th Cir. 1997); see also United States v. Miller, 151 F.3d 957, 958 (9th Cir. 1998)
(stating that a defendant must disclose all the information he has concerning the
offense to qualify for safety valve relief). Moreover, and contrary to Cortez-
Arreola’s assertion, nothing in the record suggests that the district court
misinterpreted or misapplied the safety valve requirements. See Miller, 151 F.3d at
961.
AFFIRMED.
