UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JOHN ROBERT SNOOK, Defendant.
PATRICIA T. MORRIS, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, ACCEPTING DEFENDANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY, AND TAKING THE RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT UNDER ADVISEMENT
THOMAS L. LUDINGTON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On July 14, 2021, Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris conducted a plea hearing upon Defendant John Robert Snook's consent, after which Judge Morris issued her Report and Recommendation, recommending that this Court accept Defendant's guilty plea. ECF Nos. 18; 24.
Although Judge Morris's Report stated that the parties could object and seek review within 14 days of service of the Report, neither Plaintiff nor Defendant have objected. Therefore, they have waived their right to appeal Judge Morris's finding that Defendant was competent to enter a plea, and that the plea was entered 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 Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 24, is ADOPTED.
Further, it is ORDERED that Defendant's plea of guilty is ACCEPTED, and the Rule 11 Plea Agreement, ECF No. 22, is taken UNDER ADVISEMENT.
