PER CURIAM:

       Jaime Roman Bustamante appeals the 120-month sentence imposed by the district

court after he pleaded guilty, without a written plea agreement, to conspiracy to possess

with intent to distribute and to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, in violation of

21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), 846 (2012). Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant

to Anders v. California, 

(1967), concluding that there are no meritorious

grounds for appeal. Counsel questions, however, whether Bustamante qualified for the

safety valve reduction in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) (2012). Bustamante was informed of his

right to file a pro se supplemental brief but has not done so. We affirm and remand to

correct a clerical error in the judgment. *

       To be eligible for relief under the safety valve provision, a defendant must show the

following five elements:

       (1) [he] does not have more than one criminal history point; (2) [he] did not
       use violence or possess a firearm in connection with the offense; (3) the
       offense did not result in death or serious bodily injury; (4) [he] was not an
       organizer, leader, manager, or supervisor of others in the offense; and (5) no
       later than the time of sentencing, [he] truthfully provided the government
       with all evidence and information [he] had concerning the offense or offenses
       comprising the same course of conduct or a common scheme or plan.

United States v. Henry, 

, 292-93 (4th Cir. 2012). The burden lies with the

defendant to show that he has met each element. United States v. Bolton, 

,




       *
        Bustamante pleaded guilty to conspiracy, yet the judgment failed to mention § 846,
the applicable conspiracy statute. We therefore remand the case so that the district court
may amend the judgment to reflect that Bustamante pleaded guilty to violating 21 U.S.C.
§§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), 846. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36.

                                              2
913 (4th Cir. 2017). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district did not

clearly err in finding that Bustamante failed to establish the fifth element of the test and,

therefore, that he was ineligible for the safety valve reduction. See 

(stating standard of review and recognizing deference owed to district court’s credibility

finding).

       In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have

identified no meritorious grounds for appeal. We therefore affirm the district court’s

judgment and remand to correct a clerical error. This court requires that counsel inform

Bustamante, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for

further review. If Bustamante requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that

such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to

withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served

on Bustamante.

       We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                           AFFIRMED AND REMANDED
