MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

LAURIE CAMP, District Judge

This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (Filing No. 17) issued by Magistrate Judge Thomas D. Thalken recommending denial of the Defendant's motion to suppress (Filing No. 11). No objections have been filed to the Report and Recommendation as allowed by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and NECrimR 57.3(a).

The Defendant seeks an order suppressing statements made to law enforcement on August 20 and 21, 2007. Judge Thalken determined: the Defendant was advised of his Miranda rights; and the Defendant's statements were voluntary.

Notwithstanding the absence of objections, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and NECrimR 57.3, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the record. The Court has read the parties' briefs (Filing Nos. 12, 14) and the transcript (Filing No. 20). Because Judge Thalken fully, carefully, and correctly applied the law to the facts, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation in its entirety.

IT IS ORDERED:

1. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Filing No. 17) is adopted in its entirety; and

2. The Defendant's motion to suppress (Filing No. 11) is denied.
