United States Seventh Circuit

District court did not err in denying defendant the benefits of the U.S.S.G. section 5C1.2 "safety valve" provision, and the court lacks jurisdiction to review the district judge's discretionary decision not to depart downward without evidence of defendant's continued cooperation.
