JOHN CORBETT O'MEARA, District Judge.
Before the court is Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti's report and recommendation dated November 20, 2017. Magistrate Judge Patti recommends that the court deny Defendant Scott Evans's motion to suppress. Defendant filed objections to the report and recommendation on December 4, 2017; the government filed a response on December 18, 2017.
With respect to reports and recommendations from magistrate judges, this court "shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The court "may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate."
Having conducted a de novo review of Magistrate Judge Patti's thorough and well-reasoned report, as well as the parties' submissions, the court finds Defendant's objections to be without merit.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Patti's November 20, 2017 report and recommendation is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's objections are OVERRULED and Defendant's motion to suppress evidence is DENIED.
