UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. ADOLFO GALVAN-CARDENAS, Defendant.
ORDER
United States Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch entered Findings and Recommendation in this matter on February 6, 2019. Neither party objected and therefore they are not entitled to de novo review of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). This Court will review the Findings and Recommendation for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach. Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000).
Judge Lynch recommended this Court accept Adolfo Galvan-Cardenas's guilty plea after Galvan-Cardenas appeared before him pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, and entered his plea of guilty to one count of illegal reentry to the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(1) as set forth in the Information.
I find no clear error in Judge Lynch's Findings and Recommendation (Doc. 19), and I adopt them in full, including the recommendation to defer acceptance of the Plea Agreement until sentencing, when the Court will have reviewed the Plea Agreement and Presentence Investigation Report.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Adolfo Galvan-Cardenas's motion to change plea (Doc. 10) is GRANTED, and Adolfo Galvan-Cardenas is adjudged guilty as charged in the Information.
DATED this 22nd day of February, 2019.
