United States First Circuit

Where sentencing court identified specific instances of omissions from, and false statements in, defendant's proffer of disclosure under 18 U.S.C. Section 3553(f), court's refusal to apply the safety valve provision of statute in sentencing defendant was neither clearly erroneous nor based upon a mistaken view of the law.
