ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On February 8, 2007, United States Magistrate Judge James S. Gallas issued a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. # 9) regarding the plea hearing of Donna Ozmun, which was referred to the Magistrate Judge with the consent of the parties.
On January 23, 2007, the Government filed an information against Ozmun. (Dkt. #1). On February 8, 2007, the Magistrate Judge held a hearing in which the Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count 1, false declaration before a grand jury, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1623(a). The Magistrate Judge received the Defendant's guilty plea and issued a Report and Recommendation ("R R"), recommending that this Court accept the plea and enter a finding of guilty (Dkt. # 9).
Neither party objected to the Magistrate Judge's R R in the ten days after it was issued.
On de novo review of the record, the Magistrate Judge's R R is adopted. The Defendant was found to be competent to enter a plea. The Defendant understood his constitutional rights. He is aware of the consequences of entering a plea. There is an adequate factual basis for the plea. The Court finds that the plea was entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. The Defendant's plea of guilty is approved.
Therefore, the Defendant is adjudged guilty of Count 1, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1623(a). The sentencing will be held on May 18, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
