ORDER

SARA LIOI, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court upon Magistrate Judge Nancy A. Vecchiarelli's Report and Recommendation that the Court ACCEPT Defendant Donyale M. Robinson's ("Defendant") plea of guilty and enter a finding of guilty against Defendant. (Doc. No. 163.)

On January 9, 2014, the government filed a Superseding Indictment against Defendant. (Doc. No. 18.) On August 6, 2014, this Court issued an order assigning this case to a United States Magistrate Judge for the purpose of receiving Defendant's guilty plea. (Doc. No. 159.)

On August 7, 2014, a hearing was held in which Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Superseding Indictment, charging him with Conspiracy to Distribute and to Possess with Intent to Distribute 500 Grams or more of Cocaine, a Schedule II Controlled Substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sections 846, 841(a)(1) & 841(b)(1)(B). Magistrate Judge Vecchiarelli received Defendant's guilty plea and issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court accept the plea and enter a finding of guilty. (Doc. No. 163.)

Neither party objected to the Magistrate Judge's R&R in the fourteen days after it was issued.

Upon de novo review of the record, the Magistrate Judge's R&R is ADOPTED. Specifically, the Court finds as follows: that the defendant is competent to enter a plea, that he understands his constitutional rights, that he is aware of the consequences of entering a plea, and that there is an adequate factual basis for the plea. The Court further finds that the plea was entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. Accordingly, the Defendant's plea of guilty is APPROVED.

Therefore, the Defendant is adjudged guilty of Count 1 of the Superseding Indictment in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sections 846, 841(a)(1) & 841(b)(1)(B). The sentencing will be held on September 19, 2014 at 1:00 p.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
