Eduardo Aguilera-Suarez (Aguilera) was convicted of possession with intent to distribute 881.98 kilograms of marijuana and was sentenced to 70 months of imprisonment and four years of supervised release.

Aguilera argues on appeal that the district court committed clear error in not reducing his offense level by two levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 due to his minor role in the offense. He contends that he was a mere courier, that his transportation of a large amount of marijuana did not preclude a minor role adjustment, and that the district court should not have relied on his unrelated criminal history in denying the requested adjustment. However, Aguilera’s courier status alone did not entitle him to a role adjustment. See United States v. Brown, 54 F.3d 234, 241 (5th Cir. 1995). Furthermore, Aguilera admitted in the presentence report, which the district court adopted, and at rearraignment that he knew that he was transporting marijuana and that he was going to be paid $1,500 for doing so. Accordingly, Aguilera did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that his role in the offense was peripheral, and thus the district court did not commit clear error in refusing to award Aguilera a minor role adjustment. See United States v. Villanueva, 408 F.3d 193, 203-04 & n. 9 (5th Cir. 2005); Brown, 54 F.3d at 241.

AFFIRMED.
