Defendant's plea of guilty is accepted and Defendant is adjudicated guilty of the charges set forth in Count 1 of the Indictment. The written plea agreement (ECF No. 189) is continued under advisement pending sentencing.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant shall remain detained pending sentencing, now scheduled for October 5, 2022, before District Judge Hala Y. Jarbou at the federal courthouse in Marquette, Michigan.
