UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JUSTIN LEE MANNIE, Defendant.
Honorable Patricia T. Morris United States Magistrate Judge
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND ACCEPTING GUILTY PLEA
THOMAS L. LUDINGTON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris conducted a plea hearing upon Defendant Justin Mannie's consent on September 10, 2024. ECF Nos. 29; 32. That same day, Judge Morris issued a report recommending that this Court accept Defendant's guilty plea. ECF No. 34. Judge Morris gave the Parties 14 days to object, but they did not do so. They have therefore forfeited their right to appeal Judge Morris's findings that Defendant was competent to enter a plea and did so knowingly, voluntarily, and with a basis in fact. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(b); Berkshire v. Dahl, 928 F.3d 520, 530-31 (6th Cir. 2019) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985)).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Judge Morris's Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 34, is ADOPTED.
Further, it is ORDERED that Defendant's guilty plea is ACCEPTED.
