United States v. Alexandro Necochea-Valera

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Alexandra Necochea-Valera appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 41-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for importation of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952, 960. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Contrary to Necochea’s assertion, the district court did not clearly err in denying him a minor role adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2(b). See United States v. Hursh, 217 F.3d 761, 770 (9th Cir. 2000) (denial of minor role adjustment not clear error where the defendant was the sole driver and occupant of a car in which a substantial amount of drugs were hidden).

AFFIRMED.
