A plea agreement was filed in this case at Docket 46. Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, this matter was referred to the Honorable Magistrate Judge Deborah M.

A proposed change of plea hearing was held before the magistrate judge at which Defendant entered a guilty plea to Count 2 of the Indictment, which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(a)(6) and 924(a)(2), Acquiring Firearm by Deception.

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 2 of the Indictment - Acquiring Firearm by Deception, and Defendant is adjudged GUILTY of Count 2. An Imposition of Sentence hearing is scheduled for October 22, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. in Anchorage Courtroom 3.
