UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Pedro GARCIA-VARGAS, a.k.a. Ulises Anaya, a.k.a. Ulysis Anaya, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 11-30025.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 17, 2012.*

Filed Jan. 24, 2012.

James Edmund Seykora, Esquire, Assistant U.S., Leif Johnson, Assistant U.S., USBI — Office of the U.S. Attorney, Billings, MT, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Ulysis Anaya, Lisa Jeannine Bazant, Billings, MT, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before: LEAVY, TALLMAN, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM **

Pedro Garcia-Vargas appeals from the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to Count One of the Second Superseding Indictment, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 843 and 18 U.S.C. § 2. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Contrary to Garcia-Vargas’ contention, the district court did not clearly err in finding Garcia-Vargas ineligible for safety valve relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) where Garcia-Vargas’ proffer was inconsistent with the testimony adduced at trial by the law enforcement agent who investigated the crime and the proffer made by his co-defendant. See United States v. Mejia-Pimental, 477 F.3d 1100, 1107 (9th Cir.2007) (where proffer of knowledge and participation is truthful and complete, it suffices for purposes of safety valve relief).

AFFIRMED.
