ORDER

United States Magistrate Judge Kathleen L. DeSoto entered Findings and Recommendation in this matter on August 29, 2019. Neither party objected and therefore they are not entitled to de novo review of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). This Court will review the Findings and Recommendation for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000).

Judge DeSoto recommended this Court accept Robert David Barclay, Jr.'s guilty plea after Barclay appeared before her pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, and entered a plea of guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) as set forth in the Indictment.

I find no clear error in Judge DeSoto's Findings and Recommendation (Doc. 29), and I adopt them in full, including the recommendation to defer acceptance of the Plea Agreement until sentencing when the Court will have reviewed the Plea Agreement and Presentence Investigation Report.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Robert David Barclay, Jr.'s motion to change plea (Doc. 19) is GRANTED and Robert David Barclay, Jr. is adjudged guilty as charged in the Indictment.
