The matter is now before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Court has reviewed the Final Report and Recommendation and adopts it. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Court ACCEPTS Defendant's plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Felony Information - Unlawful Dispensing and Distribution of a Controlled Substance, and Defendant is adjudged GUILTY of Count 1. An in-person Imposition of Sentence hearing is scheduled for September 17, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. in Anchorage Courtroom 3.
