ORDER RE FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE UPON A PLEA OF GUILTY
SHARON L. GLEASON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
A plea agreement was filed in this case at Docket 193. Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, this matter was referred to the Honorable Magistrate Judge Matthew M. Scoble by the District Court, with the written and oral consents of Defendant, counsel for Defendant, and counsel for the United States. A proposed change of plea hearing was held before the magistrate judge at which Defendant entered a guilty plea to Count 2 of the First Superseding Indictment, Drug Conspiracy, which is a violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(b)(1)(C).
Judge Scoble issued a Final Report and Recommendation at Docket 198, in which he recommended that the District Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty to Count 2 of the First Superseding Indictment. No objections to the Final Report and Recommendation have been filed.
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 First Superseding Indictment and Defendant is adjudged GUILTY of Count 2. An Imposition of Sentence hearing has been scheduled for August 29, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. before District Judge Sharon L. Gleason in Anchorage Courtroom 2.
