UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
BERNARDO GONSALES-PEREZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. L-02-CR-380-3
--------------------
Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Bernardo Gonsales-Perez pleaded guilty to transporting
aliens within the United States and was sentenced to 30 months
of imprisonment and three years of supervised release. On
appeal, he argues that the district court erred by increasing
his offense level by six pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.1(b)(2)(B)
because his offense involved transporting 31 aliens and by two
pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.1(b)(5) because the offense involved
the intentional or reckless creation of substantial risk of death

or serious bodily injury because of the conditions in which the
aliens were transported in the trucks. The district court’s
application of the sentencing guidelines is reviewed de novo,
while its findings of fact are reviewed for clear error. United
States v. Harrington, 82 F.3d 83, 86 (5th Cir. 1996). Gonsales-
Perez has not shown that information that the district court
relied on in sentencing him was materially untrue. United States
v. Puig-Infante, 19 F.3d 929, 943 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly,
he has not shown that the district court erred in sentencing him
under the guidelines. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3(a)(1)(B) (relevant
conduct); United States v. Cuyler, 298 F.3d 387, 389 (5th Cir.
2002) (reckless endangerment).
AFFIRMED.
