Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 98-CR-83-4-G
__________________________________________
May 23, 2000
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
Alexander Anjulo-Jaramillo and Reynaldo Garcia-Vasquez appeal from the sentences
imposed after they pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess cocaine hydrochloride with intent to
distribute and possession of cocaine hydrochloride with intent to distribute. Anjulo-Jaramillo also
pleaded guilty to illegally reentering the United States after deportation.
Anjulo-Jaramillo argues that the district court erred in refusing to reduce his sentence by
one additional offense level pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b)(2) for acceptance of responsibility.
The district court did not clearly err, however, in concluding that Anjulo-Jaramillo failed to timely
notify authorities of his intention to plead guilty. See United States v. Gonzales,
19 F.3d 982, 984
(5th Cir. 1994).
Anjulo-Jaramillo argues that the district court erred in declining to reduce his sentence
two levels under § 3B1.2(b) for minor participation in the offense. Having reviewed the record,
we conclude that the district court did not clearly err in finding that Anjulo-Jaramillo was not a
minor participant in the conspiracy. See United States v. Mitchell,
31 F.3d 271, 278-79 (5th Cir.
1994).
Garcia-Vasquez challenges the district court’s refusal to sentence him according to the
safety-valve provision of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f). Garcia-Vasquez has not shown that the court
clearly erred in concluding that he did not “truthfully provide[] to the Government all information
and evidence [he] has concerning the offense,” as required by § 3553(f)(5). See United States v.
Flanagan,
80 F.3d 143, 146 (5th Cir. 1996).
AFFIRMED.
