United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Savinder Singh, Defendant.
Anthony P. Patti Mag. Judge.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [28], ACCEPTING GUILTY PLEA, AND TAKING RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT [27] UNDER ADVISEMENT
JUDITH E. LEVY United States District Judge.
This case was referred to Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (b)(3) for the purposes of receiving Defendant Savinder Singh's offer of a guilty plea. With Defendant's consent (ECF No. 24), Judge Patti conducted a plea hearing and entered Defendant's guilty plea on September 6, 2022. (ECF No. 27.) On September 7, 2022, Judge Patti issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that this Court accept Defendant's guilty plea. (ECF No. 28.)
The Report and Recommendation states that, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b)(2) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the parties may object to the proposed findings and recommendations within 14 days of service. (See ECF No. 28, PageID.77.) No objections were filed by September 21, 2022. Thus, the parties have waived their right to appeal Judge Patti'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, the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 28) is ADOPTED.
Further, Defendant's guilty plea is ACCEPTED, and the Rule 11 Plea Agreement (ECF No. 27) is TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
