   MEMORANDUM

Brenda Trinidad Jaime-Sainz appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 210-month concurrent sentences imposed following her guilty-plea convictions for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, distribution of methamphetamine, and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm,

Jaime-Sainz contends that the district court abdicated its responsibility to conduct an independent inquiry as to the extent of the downward departure she should receive for her substantial assistance to the government under U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1. To the contrary, the record reflects that the district court considered arguments from both parties and provided a reasoned basis for its acceptance of the government’s two-level downward departure recommendation. See United States v. Laney, 189 F.3d 954, 964 (9th Cir. 1999). The court did not err by giving weight to the government’s assessment of the value of Jaime-Sainz’s assistance. See U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1(a)(1) & cmt. n.3; Laney, 189 F.3d at 964.

AFFIRMED.
