ORDER
On February 17, 2010, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), recommending that the Court accept Defendant Julio Gutierrez Valencia's guilty plea to Count One of the Information. Defendant, represented by counsel, waived his 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 his right to contest the Report and Recommendation by filing any objections within 10 days of the issuance of the Report and Recommendation. Defendant did not file any objections. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and ACCEPTS Defendant's plea of guilty of Count One of the Information. Defendant is hereby adjudged guilty on that count.
