DECISION and ORDER
This case was referred by order of the undersigned, dated December 14, 2010, to Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A)-(B). Defendant filed an omnibus pretrial motion seeking, inter alia, an order dismissing the one count indictment as duplicitous. On April 14, 2011, Magistrate Judge Payson filed a Report and Recommendation ("R R") (#23) recommending that the Court deny defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment as duplicitous. Defendant timely filed objections (# 24) to the R R on April 28, 2011.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the R R to which objections have been made. Upon a de novo review of the R R and after considering the defendant's objections, the Court accepts the proposed findings and recommendation.
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in Magistrate Judge Payson's R R (#23), the defendant's motion (#16) to dismiss the indictment as duplicitous is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
