UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

JOSE LUIS JACOBO-FLORES,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. L-02-CR-842-3

--------------------

Before DUHÉ, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:1

Jose Luis Jacobo-Flores appeals from his guilty-plea

conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute over

100 kilograms of marijuana. He argues that the district court

erred by failing to award him an adjustment for acceptance of

responsibility, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1. The district court’s

denial of an adjustment for acceptance of responsibility

permissibly relied upon the probation officer’s finding that

2

Jacobo-Flores made false statements regarding his level of

involvement in the offense of conviction. See United States v.

Shipley, 963 F.2d 56, 59 (5th Cir. 1992). Jacobo-Flores has failed

to show that the district court’s denial of an adjustment for

acceptance of responsibility was without foundation. See United

States v. Solis, 299 F.3d 420, 458 (5th Cir. 2002).

Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
