UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JOSEPH SUMBRY, Defendant.
ORDER
PHILIP P. SIMON, JUDGE
This matter is before me on the findings and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Joshua P. Kolar relating to defendant Joseph Sumbry's agreement to enter a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment, pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. [DE 80.] Following a hearing on the record on June 22, 2021 [DE 86], Judge Kolar found that the defendant understands the charges, his rights, and the maximum penalties; that the defendant is competent to plead guilty; that there is a factual basis for the defendant's plea; that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into his agreement to enter a plea of guilty; and that the defendant's change of plea hearing could not be delayed without serious harm to the interests of justice. Judge Kolar recommends that the Court accept defendant's plea of guilty and proceed to impose sentence. Neither party has filed a timely objection to Judge Kolar's findings and recommendation.
ACCORDINGLY:
Having reviewed the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendation concerning Defendant Joseph Sumbry's plea of guilty, to which no objection has been filed, the Court hereby ADOPTS the findings and recommendation [DE 86] in their entirety.
Defendant Joseph Sumbry is adjudged GUILTY of Count 1 of the Indictment.
The sentencing hearing is set for November 12, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Hammond/Central time.
SO ORDERED.
