Sergio Guadalupe Ayala appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty-plea *379 conviction for illegally transporting an alien within the United States. Ayala argues that the district court erred by denying him a downward adjustment based on acceptance of responsibility.

To qualify for a downward adjustment based on acceptance of responsibility, the defendant must clearly demonstrate acceptance of responsibility for his offense. United States v. Pierce, 237 F.3d 693, 694 (5th Cir. 2001); U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1. Considerations include whether the defendant truthfully admitted or did not falsely deny any additional relevant conduct for which he is accountable under U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3. Pierce, 237 F.3d at 695. In reviewing a sentencing court’s determination of acceptance of responsibility, this court gives “more deference to the finding than would be given under a clearly erroneous standard.” Id.

The district court did not deny Ayala an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction because Ayala raised a Sixth Amendment challenge to the for-profit determination. Rather, the court determined that Ayala had falsely denied relevant conduct for which he was accountable, namely the commission of the offense for profit. Ayala’s argument that he should not have been denied the adjustment based on his Sixth Amendment argument is thus without merit.

Ayala’s argument that he did not personally profit from the offense and thus could not have been denied the reduction is likewise without merit. The record supports the determination that Ayala was going to personally profit from the offense. Ayala thus falsely denied relevant conduct for which he was accountable under § 1B1.3. See Pierce, 237 F.3d at 695.

AFFIRMED.
