Defendant-Appellant. |

OPINION
_________________________
THAPAR, Circuit Judge. Wendy Reinberg pled guilty to possession with intent to
distribute methamphetamine and was sentenced to 60 months’ imprisonment. She claims that
she was entitled to a shorter sentence under the safety-valve provision. But to receive the benefit
of that provision, she had to show by a preponderance of the evidence that she disclosed
everything she knew about her crime and the surrounding circumstances. The district court
concluded that Reinberg failed to carry her burden. We affirm. |

OPINION
_________________________
THAPAR, Circuit Judge. When Stephen Akridge requested resentencing under the First
Step Act, he represented that he remained a career offender under the Sentencing Guidelines.
Citing Akridge’s concession, serious criminal conduct, and post-sentencing misconduct, the
district court declined to reduce his sentence. We affirm. |
