OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Isaiah Truesdale pled guilty pursuant to a written plea agreement to conspiracy to launder money, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h) (2000). He was sentenced to fifty-one months imprisonment. He now appeals, and we affirm.
Truesdale contends the district court erred in determining his sentence. Legal issues concerning sentences are reviewed de novo and factual determinations are reviewed for clear error. See United States v. Daughtrey, 874 F.2d 218, 217 (4th Cir.1989). Truesdale contends the district court erred in overruling his objection to paragraphs 17, 18, and 22 of the Presentence Investigation Report (PSIR). The information found in those paragraphs was properly included in the PSIR pursuant to USSG § 1B1.3(a)(2), because the facts described related to the same course of conduct as Truesdale's offense of conviction. Therefore, we find the district court did not err.
Truesdale next contends the district court erred in applying a three-level enhancement pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2S1.1(b)(1) (2000). We have reviewed the record and find no such error.
Truesdale conclusorily contends the district court erred in not applying the safety valve provision of 18 U.S.C. § 3553 and USSG § 5C1.2. The safety valve provision is only applicable when the defendant has been convicted of a federal drug offense. Because Truesdale was convicted of conspiracy to launder money, not a drug offense, the district court did not err.
Accordingly, we affirm Truesdale's conviction and sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
