United States Sixth Circuit

District court's denial of defendant's request for application of the "safety valve" sentencing provision in U.S.S.G. section 5C1.2, which permits a two-level reduction for certain defendants who cooperate fully with the government prior to sentencing, is affirmed as the defendant admittedly did not give prosecutors all the information he had about the drug-trafficking offense for which he was convicted, and there is no exception to the sentencing guidelines that defendant could not fully cooperate due to fear of retaliation.
