ORDER ACCEPTING PLEA AGREEMENT, JUDGMENT AND REFERRAL TO U.S. PROBATION OFFICE
SOLOMON OLIVER, JR., District Judge.
This case is before the Court on a Report and Recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Parker, regarding the change of plea hearing of Logan Christopher Cutlip, which was referred to the Magistrate Judge with the consent of the parties.
On September 20, 2017, the government filed a five count Superseding Indictment, charging Defendant Logan Christopher Cutlip with Dealing in Counterfeit U.S. Currency, in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. § 473 and 2, Uttering Counterfeit U.S. Currency, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 472 and 2, Counterfeiting in U.S. Currency, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 471 and 2, (Counts 3 and 4), and Dealing in and Uttering Counterfeit U.S. Currency, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. Defendant Cutlip was arraigned on October 26, 2017, and entered a plea of not guilty to Counts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Superseding Indictment, before this Court. On January 17, 2018, Magistrate Judge Parker, received Defendant Cutlip's plea of guilty to Counts 3 and 5 of the Superseding Indictment, and issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R"), concerning whether the plea should be accepted and a finding of guilty entered.
Neither party submitted objections to the Magistrate Judge's R&R in the fourteen days after it was issued.
On de novo review of the record, the Magistrate Judge's R&R is adopted. Defendant Cutlip is found to be competent to enter a plea and to understand his constitutional rights. He is aware of the charges and of the consequences of entering a plea. There is an adequate factual basis for the plea. The court finds the plea was entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. The plea agreement is approved.
Therefore, Defendant Cutlip is adjudged guilty to Count 3 and 5 of the Superseding Indictment, in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. § 471 and 2, Counterfeiting in U.S. Currency, and 18 U.S.C. § 371, Dealing in and Uttering Counterfeit U.S. Currency, respectively. This matter was referred to the U. S. Probation Department for the completion of a pre-sentence investigation and report. Sentencing will be on April 25, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom 17A, Carl B. Stokes United States Court House, 801 West Superior Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
