******************
This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Candace J. Smith (Doc. # 52/53), wherein she recommends that the Court revoke Defendant's supervised release and impose a sentence of eight (8) months, with no supervision to follow.

IT IS ORDERED as follows:
(1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 52/53) is hereby ADOPTED as the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the Court;
