UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ANIBAL CABRERA-PIRIS, Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. L-00-CR-635-ALL
--------------------
October 25, 2001
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Anibal Cabrera-Piris appeals his sentence following his
guilty-plea conviction of one count of possession of
approximately 6025 pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute.
He argues that the district court erred in denying him a downward
adjustment for acceptance of responsibility pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 3E1.1(a). Cabrera-Piris has not shown that the district
court’s determination on this matter, which is entitled to great
deference, should be overturned. See United States v. Spires, 79
F.3d 464, 467 (5th Cir. 1996); See United States v. Wilder, 15
F.3d 1292, 1298-99 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the judgment of
the district court is AFFIRMED.
