1Opinion of the Court

MELLOY, Circuit Judge.

Ignacio Sandoval-Sianuqui pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and possessing with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a substance containing methamphetamine. The district court 1 sentenced Sandoval-Sianuqui to 292 months’ imprisonment. Sandoval-Sianuqui appeals his sentence. He argues that the district court erred in finding that he obstructed justice, erred in finding him ineligible for safety-valve relief, committed procedural error in sentencing him, and imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence. We affirm.
