PER CURIAM.
Angel Lara-Garcia appeals the 135-month prison sentence the district court*
imposed after Lara-Garcia pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy and forfeiture charges.
Lara-Garcia argues the court committed reversible error when it found he did not
meet the requirements for safety-valve relief set forth in U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2(a)(5).
*
The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the district court that
Lara-Garcia failed honestly to provide the government with all the information and
evidence he had concerning his involvement in the charged drug conspiracy. See
U.S.S.G § 5C1.2(a)(5); United States v. O’Dell,
204 F.3d 829, 838 (8th Cir. 2000)
(affirming denial of safety-valve relief based on testimony and district court’s own
credibility assessments). Accordingly, we affirm.
