PER CURIAM:*

LaFredrick Smith appeals his sentence following his guilty plea to possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine. He argues that the district court erred in denying him credit for acceptance of responsibility pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1.

Challenges to the denial of a U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 reduction are reviewed even more deferentially than a pure “clearly erroneous” standard, United States v. Gonzales, 19 F.3d 982, 983 (5th Cir.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 01-51052 1994), and the defendant has the burden of proof, United States v. Tremelling, 43 F.3d 148, 152 (5th Cir. 1995). We find that the district court was aware that it had the discretion to award Smith credit for acceptance of responsibility despite enhancing his sentence pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1 for obstructing justice. We further hold that the district court did not err in refusing to award Smith a U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 credit, because his case was not an “extraordinary” one under which adjustments pursuant to U.S.S.G. §§ 3C1.1 and 3E1.1 might apply. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1, comment. (n. 4).

AFFIRMED.
