UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff, v. RYAN WITTEN Defendant.


ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

ON MOTION TO SUPPRESS

THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Defendant Ryan Witten's ("Defendant['s]") Motion to Suppress (D.E. No. 73), which was filed on June 9, 2014. Arguing that his August 31, 2012 arrest for the offense of loitering and prowling was unlawful, Defendant seeks to suppress all evidence obtained as a result of his arrest, including two cameras, photographs, a laptop computer, documents, a tool box, and electronic media, as well as statements he made following his arrest. The matter was referred to the Honorable Jonathan Goodman, United States Magistrate Judge, for a Report and Recommendation on June 11, 2014. (D.E. No. 75). Judge Goodman filed his Report and Recommendations on Motion to Suppress (D.E. No. 93), recommending that this Court deny Defendant's motion. The Court has reviewed the entire file and record and has made a de novo review of the issues that the objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation present (D.E. No. 94). After careful consideration, the Court affirms and adopts the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, it is hereby:

ADJUDGED that United States Magistrate Judge Goodman's Report and Recommendations on Motion to Suppress (D.E. No. 93) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. Accordingly, it is:

ADJUDGED that Defendant's Motion to Suppress (D.E. No. 73) is DENIED.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 7 day of July, 2014.
