U.S.C. §§ 841 (a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(viii). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §
1291, and we affirm.
Pacheco contends that the district court clearly erred by denying him a minor
role adjustment pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2(b). In light of the very large quantity
of methamphetamine and Pacheco’s conduct over the course of several days,
including storing methamphetamine at his home, the district court did not clearly
err. See United States v. Hurtado, 760 F.3d 1065, 1068-69 (9th Cir. 2014); United
States v. Rodriguez-Castro, 641 F.3d 1189, 1193 (9th Cir. 2011); United States v.
Cantrell, 433 F.3d 1269, 1282-83 (9th Cir. 2006).
AFFIRMED.
