Hon. Michael J. Newman, United States District Judge
This criminal case is before the Court on the parties' joint motion for a change of plea hearing (Doc.

The Court hereby CONFIRMS that the parties' joint motion for a change of plea hearing was granted. See id. Moreover, there being no objections, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation in full and ACCEPTS Defendant's plea of guilty to Count 2 of the indictment currently pending against him and finds him guilty as charged of possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl and a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and (b)(1). See Doc. Nos. 2, 14. The Court will defer the decision of whether to accept the plea agreement until the sentencing hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
