Shawn Michael Rounds pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine, and the district court sentenced him to 87 months of imprisonment. Rounds now appeals his sentence, arguing that, because he was merely a co-driver, the district court erred in finding that he did not qualify for a downward adjustment for being a minimal or minor participant in the offense. A defendant’s role in the offense is a factual determination that this court reviews for clear error. United States v. Villanueva, 408 F.3d 193, 203 (5th Cir.2005).

The advisory Sentencing Guidelines provide for a reduction in the base offense level of a “minor” or a “minimal” participant. U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. A defendant who is “a courier without being substantially less culpable than the average participant” does not qualify for this adjustment. United States v. Buenrostro, 868 F.2d 135, 138 (5th Cir.1989); U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2, comment. (n. 3(A)). In light of the testimony at his sentencing hearing, Rounds has not shown that the district court clearly erred in finding that he did not qualify for a downward adjustment based on his role in the offense. See Buenrostro, 868 F.2d at 138.

AFFIRMED.
