The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Olivares-Cuevas, 142 F.3d 447 (9th Cir. 1998):
The evidence in the record supports the district court's finding that Olivares-Cuevas failed to provide the government with all the information in his possession. The agent who interviewed Olivares-Cuevas at the time of his arrest indicated that Olivares-Cuevas was not entirely candid, and Olivares-Cuevas refused to be interviewed by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Under these facts, the district court did not clearly err by denying Olivares-Cuevas relief under the safety valve provision. See United States v. Contreras, No. 97-10163, slip op. (9th Cir. Feb. 25, 1998); United States v. Ajugwo, 82 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir.1996), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 117 S.Ct. 742, 136 L.Ed.2d 680 (1997).
