Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jorge Luis Cortez-Arreola appeals from the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Cortez-Arreola contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing to grant his request for safety valve relief. The district court did not clearly err by determining that Cortez-Arreola failed to disclose all of the information he had concerning the offense. See United States v. Washman, 128 F.3d 1305, 1307-08 (9th Cir.1997); see also United States v. Miller, 151 F.3d 957, 958 (9th Cir.1998) (stating that a defendant must disclose all the information he has concerning the offense to qualify for safety valve relief). Moreover, and contrary to Cortez-Arreola’s assertion, nothing in the record suggests that the district court misinterpreted or misapplied the safety valve requirements. See Miller, 151 F.3d at 961.

AFFIRMED.
