This matter is before me on the findings and recommendation of Magistrate Judge John E. Martin relating to defendant Telyn James' agreement to enter a plea of guilty to Count 2 of the indictment, pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. [DE 71.] Following a hearing on the record on April 12, 2024 [DE 78], Judge Martin found that defendant understands the charges, his rights, and the maximum penalties; that defendant is competent to plead guilty; that there is a factual basis for defendant's plea; and that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into his agreement to enter a plea of guilty. Judge Martin recommends that the Court accept defendant's plea of guilty and proceed to impose sentence. Neither party has filed a timely objection to Judge Martin's findings and recommendation.
