1Opinion of the Court
GOODWIN, Chief Judge:
Roberto Gonzalez appeals his sentence of seventy months in custody and four years of suspended release, contending that the trial court misapplied the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (“the Guidelines”) and that, as applied, the Guidelines are unconstitutional. We affirm.
Gonzalez was convicted of violating 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. At the sentencing hearing, Gonzalez requested that the court reduce his base offense level under the Guidelines by two points in recognition of his “acceptance of responsibility.” The trial court denied the request.
