United States v. Angel Lara-Garcia
Opinion
Angel Lara-Garcia appeals the 185-month prison sentence the district court * imposed after Lara-Garcia pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy and forfeiture charges. Lara-Garcia argues the court committed reversible error when it found he did not meet the requirements for safety-valve relief set forth in U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2(a)(5).
Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the district court that Lara-Garcia failed honestly to provide the government with all the information and evidence he had concerning his involvement in the charged drug conspiracy. See U.S.S.G § 5C1.2(a)(5); United States v. O’Dell, 204 F.3d 829, 838 (8th Cir. 2000) (affirming denial of safety-valve relief based on testimony and district court’s own credibility assessments). Accordingly, we affirm.
The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
