UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Efrain MENDEZ, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 03-41108.
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    DECIDED: June 22, 2004.
    James Lee Turner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Kathlyn Giannaula Snyder, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Houston, TX, for PlaintiffAppellee.
    Joseph R. Lopez, Andrew M. Cohen, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Efrain Mendez appeals his sentence following a guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute cocaine. 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A). Mendez challenges the district court’s finding that he did not meet the requirement of the “safety valve” provision, U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2(a)(5), that he truthfully provide the Government with all information and evidence he had concerning the offense. The district court did not err in finding that Mendez did not meet the safety valve criteria in U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2 as would qualify him for a two-level downward adjustment pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(6). See United States v. Lopez, 264 F.3d 527, 529-30 (5th Cir. 2001); United States v. Flanagan, 80 F.3d 143, 145-47 (5th Cir.1996).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
