04-13-2017

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JOSE MORALES-TORRES, Defendant.


ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Magistrate Judge Camille L. Vélez-Rivé's Report and Recommendation (Docket No. 110) on Defendant's Motion to Suppress (Docket No. 69) is hereby ADOPTED in its entirety.

The undersigned has considered the arguments raised by Defendant de novo, and finds as insufficient the evidence produced by him to show standing. More so, the undersigned concurs with Magistrate Judge Velez-Rivé to the effect that defendant had ample time to produce evidence of possession/ownership and failed to do so. Accepting and adopting as my own Judge Velez-Rivé's legal conclusions at Docket No. 110, Defendant's Motion to Supress at Docket No. 69 is hereby DENIED.

SO ORDERED.

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, this 13th day of April, 2017.
