UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. BRET JON SHOMIN, Defendant.
Honorable Thomas L. Ludington
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, ACCEPTING
DEFENDANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY AS TO COUNT ONE OF THE INDICTMENT, AND
TAKING THE RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT UNDER ADVISEMENT
A plea hearing was conducted on July 18, 2013 by United States Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder pursuant to Defendant's consent. The magistrate judge issued his report the next day, recommending that this Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty as to count one of the indictment. As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. The election to not file objections to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the record. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, ECF No. 16, is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Defendant's plea of guilty as to count one of the indictment is ACCEPTED, and the Rule 11 Plea Agreement, ECF No. 14, is taken UNDER ADVISEMENT.
