UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

TENTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

	Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JULIO ARMANDO REYNAGA-CORTES,

	Defendant - Appellant.	

No. 04-2043
(D. New Mexico)
(D.Ct. No. CR-03-218-JC)	

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before SEYMOUR, LUCERO, and O’BRIEN, Circuit Judges.

	Julio Reynaga-Cortes pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana and aiding and abetting possession with intent to distribute.  See 21 U.S.C.    841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(B); 18 U.S.C.   2.  He sought and was denied a downward adjustment based on the safety valve provision, United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual,  5C1.2 (Nov. 2003).  The Government argued Reynaga-Cortes twice was untruthful “about aspects of what he was saying” during his debriefing and “ultimately he indicated that he was fearful of the other people involved, and did not want to talk about the co-defendants.”  (Appellant Br. Att. B at 2.)  The district court found Reynaga-Cortes did not provide the information necessary to qualify for the adjustment.  Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742, we affirm.
	On appeal, retained counsel, pursuant to Anders v. State of California, submitted a brief and seeks to withdraw asserting there are no grounds to challenge the district court’s denial of a downward adjustment and there exists no other non-frivolous issues for appeal.  386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Under Anders, we must conduct “a full examination of all the proceedings, to decide whether the case is wholly frivolous.”  Id. at 744.  After carefully reviewing the record, we find the district court did not err in denying the downward adjustment and no non-frivolous issues exist.  
	In addition to the Anders brief, Reynaga-Cortes filed a pro se letter in which he asks for a second chance.  However, he raises no cogent argument or legal authority regarding the actions of the district court.  
	Counsel’s request to withdraw is GRANTED and the judgement and sentence are AFFIRMED.
