MEMORANDUM & ORDER

This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams for the specific purpose of conducting a plea to information hearing for defendant Davis, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, Local Rule 72.1(b)(2), and defendant's consent. [Doc. 7]. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, the plea to information hearing was held on June 21, 2018. [Doc. 8]. During the hearing, defendant Davis pled guilty to Count 1 of the Information, following a thorough colloquy with Judge Williams. Thereafter, Judge Williams issued a Report and Recommendation ("the Report") recommending that the Court accept defendant's plea of guilty. [Doc. 11].

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the parties were allowed fourteen days to file written objections. As of this date, neither party has filed an objection. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the Report in its entirety. Thus, based on the record in the case, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, the consent of the defendant to plead before the magistrate without subsequent objection, it is the finding of the Court in the case of United States v. Davis, that defendant Carlynne Davis was fully competent and capable of entering an informed plea, that defendant Davis was aware of the nature of the charges and the consequences of the plea, and that the plea of guilty was a knowing and voluntary plea supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of the offenses. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS the guilty plea and ADJUDGES defendant Davis GUILTY on Count 1 of the Information. The Court also REMINDS the parties that this matter is set for sentencing on October 5, 2018 at 10:00am.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
