UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. FRANCISCO ALEMAN, Defendant.
ORDER
PHILIP P. SIMON, JUDGE.
This matter is before me on the findings and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Andrew P. Rodovich relating to defendant Francisco Aleman's agreement to enter a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the information pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. [DE 2, 7.] Following a hearing on the record on July 20, 2021 [DE 7], Judge Rodovich found that defendant understands the charge, his rights, and the maximum penalty; that defendant is competent to plead guilty; that there is a factual basis for defendant's plea; and that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into his agreement to enter a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the information charging him with wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. Judge Rodovich recommends that the Court accept defendant's plea of guilty and proceed to impose sentence. Neither party has filed a timely objection to Judge Rodovich's findings and recommendation.
ACCORDINGLY:
Having reviewed the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendation concerning defendant Francisco Aleman's plea of guilty, to which no objection has been filed, the Court hereby ADOPTS the findings and recommendation [DE 7] in their entirety.
Defendant Francisco Aleman is adjudged GUILTY of Count 1 of the information.
The sentencing hearing is SET for December 3, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. Hammond/Central time.
