Per Curiam. We find no clear error in the district court's refusal to award appellant an offense level reduction for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. 3E1.1, and we affirm. United States v. Mata-Grullon, 887 F.2d 23, 24 (1st Cir. 1989) (no clear error in district court's denial of reduction under U.S.S.G. 3E1.1 to defendant who had pled guilty to drug offense and who had lied about his name, birth date, and citizenship) (citing U.S.S.G. 3E1.1, Application Note 4). Affirmed. 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
