11-26-2018
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. HERIBERTO CEBALLOS-TALAMANTES, Defendant
Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington
DECISION AND ENTRY
This matter came before the Court for hearing on September 4, 2018 before United States Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington, who thereafter issued a Report and Recommendations. (Doc. #19). Having conducted a full colloquy with Defendant Heriberto Ceballos-Talamantes, the Magistrate Judge concluded that Defendant's plea of guilty is knowing, intelligent, and voluntary, and that there is an adequate factual basis for finding that Defendant is guilty of Possession with Intent to Distribute 500 grams or more of Cocaine in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(B).
The Court, noting that no objections to the Report and Recommendations have been filed and that the time for filing objections has expired, hereby ADOPTS in full said Report and Recommendations.
Therefore, based on the aforesaid, and this Court's de novo review of the record and the findings by the United States Magistrate Judge, this Court adopts the findings and recommendations of the United State Magistrate Judge, and finds that Defendant Heriberto Ceballos-Talamantes' guilty plea was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent. Final acceptance of Defendant's guilty plea is deferred pending review of the pre-sentence investigation report.
