    UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Steven Royce LARSON, Appellant.
    No. 02-3758.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted April 23, 2003.
    Decided May 6, 2003.
    Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, BYE, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Steven Royce Larson (Larson) appeals the sentence the district court imposed after Larson pled guilty to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A). At sentencing, the district court denied Larson an acceptanee-of-responsibility reduction because of his participation in a drug transaction the day after he entered his guilty plea.

Larson argues the district court erred in denying the reduction because his post-plea conduct was an attempt to gain valuable information for the government. After careful review of the record, we find that the district court did not clearly err in denying the acceptance-of-responsibility reduction. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1, cmt. nn.l(b), 3; United States v. Ervasti 201 F.3d 1029, 1043 (8th Cir.2000) (standard of review); United States v. Nguyen, 52 F.3d 192, 194 (8th Cir.1995).

Accordingly, we affirm. 
      
      . The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
