1Opinion of the Court
DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, defendant Humberto Cruz Alvarado asks us to find that the district court erred in its finding that he was not eligible for the “safety valve” exception to the five-year mandatory minimum sentence for his marijuana offense. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f); U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2.

Finding no error (legal or factual) in this decision, we affirm the sentence.
