ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [DKT. NO. 25]
On March 20, 2015, the defendant consented to proceed in his misdemeanor case before the Honorable John S. Kaull, United States Magistrate Judge. (Dkt. No. 19). Accordingly, he pled guilty to Count Two of the two-count indictment before Magistrate Judge Kaull, who accepted his guilty plea, and, with the agreement of counsel, proceeded to sentencing. (Dkt. No. 21). After the sentence was imposed, the government moved to dismiss Count One of the indictment. (Dkt. No. 22 at 1). Magistrate Judge Kaull recommends that this Court grant the government's motion to dismiss the remaining count. (Dkt. No. 25). Finding no clear error, the Court ADOPTS the R&R, and DISMISSES Count One of the indictment.
It is so ORDERED.
The Court directs the Clerk to transmit copies of this Order to counsel of record and all appropriate agencies. DATED: March 27, 2015.
