ORDER

JACK ZOUHARY, District Judge.

This criminal case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Vernelis K. Armstong, with consent of the parties, to conduct a change of plea hearing. The Magistrate Judge filed her Report and Recommendation (R&R) (Doc. 147). Counsel for both Defendant and the Government indicated there are no objections to the R&R, and no objections have been filed.

This Court finds that the requirements of Federal Criminal Rule 11 have been satisfied; Defendant was properly afforded his rights under the United States Constitution; Defendant was correctly found to be competent, aware of the charges and consequences of conviction and of the waiver of his rights; and Defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily consented to the Magistrate Judge and entered a guilty plea for which there was an adequate factual basis.

After a de novo review of the record and R&R, the Magistrate's findings are adopted, Defendant's guilty plea is accepted, and a finding of guilty is entered.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
