MEMORANDUM **

Rafael Santana appeals from the 36-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for importing marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Santana contends that the district court clearly erred by declining to grant him a downward adjustment for acceptance of *852responsibility pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 8E1.1. The district court did not clearly err because Santana absconded before sentencing. See United States v. Thompson, 80 F.3d 368, 371 (9th Cir. 1996).

AFFIRMED.
