   MEMORANDUM

Juan Burgueno appeals from the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for distribution of a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C: § 841(a)(1) and (b)(l)(A)(vin). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Burgueno contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not adequately inform him that he would be subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 120 months, as he was ineligible for the safety valve. The record does not establish that Burgeuno was inadequately informed by counsel that, because of his criminal history, he would be subject to the mandatory minimum sentence.

AFFIRMED.
