UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. JHON FREDY ARIAS CANO, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING AND AFFIRMING R&R AND ADJUDICATING DEFENDANT GUILTY
PAUL C. HUCK UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS MATTER came before the Court upon Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra's Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) on Change of Plea [ECF No. 129], which was entered on April 5, 2022. In the R&R, Judge Becerra found that the Defendant Jhon Fredy Arias Cano, freely and voluntarily entered a plea of guilty as to the sole Count of the Indictment, which charges Defendant with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, knowing the controlled substance will be unlawfully imported into the United States, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 959(a) and 963.
Magistrate Judge Becerra recommends that this Court accept Defendant's guilty plea, that Defendant be adjudicated guilty of the offense, and that a sentencing hearing be conducted for final disposition of this matter. The Court has reviewed Judge Becerra's R&R, no objections have been filed, and the Court has been advised that no objections will be filed. Therefore, based on a de novo review of the evidence presented, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that (1) Magistrate Judge Becerra's R&R on Change of Plea is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED in its entirety; (2) the Court accepts Defendant's plea of guilty, and Defendant is hereby adjudged guilty as to the sole Count of the Indictment; and (3) a sentencing hearing before the Honorable Paul C. Huck is set for Thursday, June 9, 2022 at 1:00 PM.
DONE AND ORDERED in Miami, Florida on April 6, 2022.
