Opinion
CASE NO.: 2:10-CR-172(1).
August 9, 2010
ORDER
On July 19, 2010, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), recommending that the Court accept Defendant Antonio Galloso's guilty plea to the Information charging him with one count of being an alien found unlawfully in the United States after previously being deported in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a).
Defendant, represented by counsel, waived his right to appear on this matter before a District Judge. The Magistrate Judge addressed the Defendant personally and in open court and advised him of the rights referred to in Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Having engaged in the colloquy required by Rule 11, the Magistrate Judge concluded that Defendant's plea was knowing, voluntary, free from coercion, and had a basis in fact.
Defendant was specifically informed of his right to contest the Report and Recommendation by filing any objections within 10 days of the issuance of the Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendant did not file any objections.
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and ACCEPTS Defendant's plea of guilty to Count One of the Information. Defendant is hereby adjudged guilty of being an alien found unlawfully in the United States after having previously been deported.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
