ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATION ON FELONY GUILTY PLEA
REGARDING COUNT ONE OF THE INDICTMENT
On this day, the Court considered the Findings of Fact and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge regarding Defendant's plea of guilty to Count ONE of the INDICTMENT in the above-numbered cause. Having conducted a proceeding in the form and manner prescribed by Fed. R. Crim. P. 11, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court accept the guilty plea of the Defendant.
No objections have been filed to the Magistrate's Findings and Recommendation within the time period set by law, and neither party has requested a de novo review of the plea proceedings before the Magistrate. If a de novo review becomes necessary at any point during the pendency of the cause, the Court reserves the right to conduct it. Based on the current record before the Court, since it appears that the Findings and Recommendation are neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law, the Court is of the opinion that said Findings and Recommendation should be adopted.
It is accordingly ORDERED that the Findings of Fact and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge filed February 19, 2025, are hereby ADOPTED.
