Opinion
Case No. 16-cr-20035
07-28-2016
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JORDAN PRESCOTT EVONNE WALTON, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND ACCEPTING DEFENDANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY
On June 14, 2016, United States Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris conducted a plea hearing pursuant to Defendant's consent. The Magistrate Judge issued her report on June 15, 2016, recommending that this Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty.
Although the Magistrate Judge's report explicitly stated that the parties to this action may object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, neither Plaintiff nor Defendant filed any objections. The failure to file objections waives any right to appeal the magistrate judge's findings that Defendant was competent to enter a plea, and that the plea was entered knowingly, voluntarily, without coercion, and with a basis in fact. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, ECF No. 18, is ADOPTED and Defendant's plea of guilty is ACCEPTED. Dated: July 28, 2016
