UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DELMAR JOHNSON, Defendant.
ORDER
PHILIP P. SIMON, JUDGE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
This matter is before me on the findings and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Joshua P. Kolar relating to defendant Delmar Johnson's decision to enter a plea of guilty to Count 2 of the indictment pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. [DE 36, 43.] Following a hearing held on the record on January 20, 2022 [DE 43], Judge Kolar found that defendant understands the charge, his rights, and the maximum penalties; that defendant is competent to plead guilty; that there is a factual basis for defendant's plea; and that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into his decision to enter a plea of guilty to Count 2 of the indictment charging him with making a false statement with respect to information required by law to be kept in the records of a federally licensed firearms dealer, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(1)(A). Judge Kolar recommends that the Court accept defendant's plea of guilty and proceed to impose sentence. Neither party has filed a timely objection to Judge Kolar's findings and recommendation.
ACCORDINGLY:
Having reviewed the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendation concerning defendant Delmar Johnson's plea of guilty, to which no objection has been filed, the Court hereby ADOPTS the findings and recommendation [DE 43] in their entirety.
Defendant Delmar Johnson is adjudged GUILTY of Count 2 of the indictment.
The sentencing hearing is SET for May 6, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Hammond/Central time.
