What is our review of a district court's denial of safety valve relief?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Ferryman, 444 F.3d 1183 (9th Cir. 2006):
Our review of the district court's denial of safety valve relief is deferential. We accept the lower court's findings of fact unless we are left with a definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made. United States v. Doe, 155 F.3d 1070, 1074 (9th Cir.1998) (en banc). We also pay special deference to a trial court's credibility findings. See United States v. Elliott, 322 F.3d 710, 715 (9th Cir.2003).
