                                       Per Curiam.  Upon careful review of the briefs and
record, we conclude that the district court was not required
to grant defendant safety valve relief under U.S.S.G. 
5C1.2(5) or an adjustment for his role in the offense under
U.S.S.G.  3B1.2(b).  The findings underlying the district
court's rulings -- that defendant had not truthfully provided
all his information about the offense, and that he was not
less culpable than most other participants -- are adequately
supported by the record and the inferences reasonably to be
drawn therefrom.
          Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
