UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. GEORGE TOUSSAINT, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA (DE 48)
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation on Defendant's Motion to Withdraw His Guilty Plea, filed February 6, 2015 (DE 48). This matter was referred to the Honorable James M. Hopkins, United States Magistrate Judge, Southern District of Florida. On April 2, 2015, Judge Hopkins issued the Report and Recommendation (DE 64), in which he recommended that this Court DENY Defendant's Motion to Withdraw His Guilty Plea. Defendant did file an objection on April 9, 2015 to Judge Hopkins Report and Recommendation (DE 66). After conducting an independent de novo review of the entire file and the record herein, the Court finds Judge Hopkins recommendations to be well reasoned and correct. The Court agrees with the analysis in Judge Hopkins's Report and Recommendation and concludes that Defendant's Motion should be denied for the reasons set forth therein, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1. United States Magistrate Judge Hopkins Report and Recommendation (DE 64) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as to the recommendation that Defendant's Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea (DE 48), is hereby DENIED.
