sentencing purposes based on an individual’s statement to law enforcement about purchasing methamphetamine from Estrella.

When a defendant, like Estrella, is convicted of a drug offense, her base offense level is determined based on the amount of drugs for which she is directly responsible and the amount that can be attributed to her as relevant conduct. United States v. Cooper, 274 F.3d 230, 238 (5th Cir. 2001). Relevant conduct includes all acts and omissions of the defendant that were part of the same course of conduct as the offense of conviction. U.S.S.G.

§ 1B1.3(a)(1)(A); § 1B1.3(a)(2). We review this issue for clear error. United States v. Barfield, 941 F.3d 757, 761 (5th Cir. 2019); United States v. Betancourt, 422 F.3d 240, 247 (5th Cir. 2005).

The district court could plausibly extrapolate from the evidence in the record that the statements to law enforcement, namely the number of sales and the quantity of actual methamphetamine purchased from Estrella, were sufficiently reliable to support the quantity of drugs attributable to her. See United States v. Dinh, 920 F.3d 307, 313 (5th Cir. 2019). We defer to a district court’s credibility determination. See United States v. Juarez-Duarte, 513 F.3d 204, 208 (5th Cir. 2008). Thus, we conclude that the district court’s finding was plausible in light of the record as a whole and that the court did not clearly err in attributing to Estrella for sentencing purposes at least 136.6 grams of actual methamphetamine, which included 113.4 grams in purchases from Estrella. See Betancourt, 422 F.3d at 246.

AFFIRMED.
