UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. KORYION DESHAWN WELCH, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, ACCEPTING DEFENDANT'S PLEA OF GUILTY, AND TAKING RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT UNDER ADVISEMENT
THOMAS L. LUDINGTON United States District Judge
On August 12, 2021, Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris conducted a plea hearing upon Defendant Koryion Dewshawn Welch's consent. ECF No. 24. On August 16, 2021, Judge Morris issued her Report and Recommendation, recommending that this Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty. ECF No. 29.
Although Judge Morris's Report stated that the parties could object to and seek review of her Recommendation within 14 days of service of the Report, neither Plaintiff nor Defendant objected. The failure to file objections waives any right to appeal Judge Morris'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. 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. 29, is ADOPTED.
Further, it is ORDERED that Defendant's plea of guilty is ACCEPTED, and the Rule 11 Plea Agreement, ECF No. 27, is taken UNDER ADVISEMENT.
