UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JORGE AMADOR
ORDER
David A.Faber Senior United States District Judge
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule of Criminal Procedure 59.4(d), this matter was referred to the United States Magistrate Judge Omar J. Aboulhosn for purposes of the defendant entering a plea of guilty. (ECF No. 7). At that hearing, the defendant voluntarily waived his right to have an Article III Judge preside over his guilty plea and executed a written Waiver of Article III Judge and Consent to Enter Guilty Plea Before United States Magistrate Judge, which waiver and consent were signed by defendant, his counsel, and counsel for the United States. (ECF No. 12).
Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn submitted to the court his Proposed Findings and Recommendation on July 9, 2021, in which he recommended that the court ACCEPT the defendant's plea of guilty to the one-count information. (ECF No. 14). In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), the parties were allotted fourteen days, plus three mailing days, in which to file any objections to Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn's Findings and Recommendation. The failure of any party to file such objections within the time allotted constitutes a waiver of such party's right to a de novo review by this court. Snyder v. Ridenour, 889 F.2d 1363 (4th Cir. 1989).
Neither party filed any objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations within the required time period. Accordingly, the court adopts the Findings and Recommendations of Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn and ACCEPTS the defendant's plea of guilty, and the defendant stands provisionally guilty of the one-count information charging him with a violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1791(a)(2) and 1791(b)(3).
The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this Order to counsel of record and to Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
