UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. KRYSTINA KAY KIRSCH, Defendant.
ORDER RE FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE UPON A PLEA OF GUILTY
SHARON L. GLEASON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
A plea agreement was filed in this case at Docket 70. Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, this matter was referred to the Honorable Magistrate Judge Matthew M. Scoble by the District Court, with the written and oral consents of Defendant, counsel for Defendant, and counsel for the United States. A proposed change of plea hearing was held before the magistrate judge at which Defendant entered a guilty plea to Count 1 of the Indictment, Distribution of a Controlled Substance, which is a violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A).
Judge Scoble issued a Final Report and Recommendation at Docket 78, in which he recommended that the District Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment. No objections to the Final Report and Recommendation have been filed.
The matter is now before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Court has reviewed the Final Report and Recommendation and adopts it. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Court ACCEPTS Defendant's plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment-Distribution of a Controlled Substance-and Defendant is adjudged GUILTY of Count 1. An Imposition of Sentence hearing has been scheduled for December 14, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., in Anchorage Courtroom 2 before District Judge Sharon L. Gleason.
