UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. KENNETH DAVID PILON, Defendant.
Honorable Patricia T. Morris United States Magistrate Judge
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, ACCEPTING GUILTY PLEA, AND TAKING RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT UNDER ADVISEMENT
THOMAS L. LUDINGTON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris conducted a plea hearing upon Defendant Kenneth David Pilon's consent. ECF No. 19. On December 12, 2022, Judge Morris issued an R&R recommending that this Court accept Defendant's guilty plea. ECF No. 20.
Although the R&R states that the parties may object to and seek review of the recommendations within 14 days of service, neither Plaintiff nor Defendant filed any objections. They have therefore waived their right to appeal Judge Morris's findings that Defendant was competent to enter a plea and did so knowingly, voluntarily, without coercion, and with a basis in fact. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(b); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 20, is ADOPTED.
Further, it is ORDERED that Defendant's guilty plea is ACCEPTED, and the Rule 11 Plea Agreement, ECF No. 19, is TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT.
