UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DARRYL DESHAWN ATKINS, Defendant.
Honorable Thomas L. Ludington
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, ACCEPTING
DEFENDANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY AS TO THE INFORMATION, AND TAKING THE
RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT UNDER ADVISEMENT
On August 7, 2013, United States Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder conducted a plea hearing pursuant to Defendant's consent. The magistrate judge issued his report the same day, recommending that this Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty as to the information. As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. The election to not file objections to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the record. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (ECF No. 20) is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Defendant's plea of guilty as to the information is ACCEPTED, and the Rule 11 Plea Agreement (ECF No. 19) is taken UNDER ADVISEMENT.
