CASE NO.: 2:09-CR-029.

ORDER
On March 3, 2009, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), recommending that the Court accept Defendant Monica Hileman's guilty plea to the Information charging her with possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(C). Defendant, represented by counsel, waived her right to appear on the matter before a District Judge. The Magistrate Judge conducted the colloquy required by Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Defendant's plea was knowing, voluntary, free from coercion, and had a basis in fact. Defendant was specifically informed of her 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 on that count.
