UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
TAMALA MICHELLE WOODS
Defendant-Appellant
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1-99-CR-10-2
--------------------
April 5, 2000
Before KING, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and STEWART, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Tamala Michelle Woods contends that the district court erred
in denying her motion to suppress. Woods has waived this issue
by entering an unconditional guilty plea. See United States v.
Wise, 179 F.3d 184, 186 (5th Cir. 1999); United States v. Bell,
966 F.2d 914, 916-17 (5th Cir. 1992).
Woods argues that the district court erred in refusing to
adjust her offense level for acceptance of responsibility. This
court reviews a district court's finding on acceptance of

responsibility "under a standard of review even more deferential
than a pure clearly erroneous standard." United States v.
Gonzales, 19 F.3d 982, 983 (5th Cir. 1994) (internal citation and
quotation omitted). Woods denied knowing that she was
transporting cocaine and falsely denied relevant conduct. The
district court did not err in refusing to award an adjustment for
acceptance of responsibility. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 comment.
(n.1(a)).
Woods contends that the district court erred in adjusting
her offense level upward for obstruction of justice. A district
court’s finding of obstruction of justice pursuant to § 3C1.1 is
a factual finding which this court reviews for clear error.
United States v. Upton, 91 F.3d 677, 687 (5th Cir. 1996). The
district court did not clearly err in finding that Woods provided
materially false information to the probation officer regarding
her prior criminal conduct and her true identity. See § 3C1.1,
comment. (nn.4(h) & 6). The judgment is
AFFIRMED.
