Magistrate Judge Becerra recommends that this Court accept Defendant's guilty plea, that Defendant be adjudicated guilty of Count I, and that a sentencing hearing be conducted for final disposition of this matter. The Court has reviewed Judge Becerra's R&R, no objections have been filed, and the Court has been advised that no objections will be filed. Therefore, based on a de novo review of the evidence presented, it is hereby
