This case is before the Court on a Report and Recommendation filed by United States
Magistrate Judge Jennifer D. Armstrong, regarding the change of plea hearing of Elizabeth Lorraine
Robinson, which was referred to the Magistrate Judge with the consent of the parties.
                On April 30, 2024 the government filed a 47 count Superseding Indictment, charging
Defendant Robinson  with, Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, Bank
Fraud, Theft of Government Funds and Conspiracy to Launder Monetary Instruments, in violation
of Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 1349, 1343 and 2, 1344 and 2, 641 and 2, and 1956(a)(1)(B)(i).  On May 2,
2024, Magistrate Judge Knapp held an arraignment, during which Ms. Robinson entered a plea of
not guilty to the charges.  On February 28, 2025 Magistrate Judge Armstrong received Defendant’s
plea of guilty to counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, and 33 of the
Superseding Indictment, with a written plea agreement, 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.
Case: 5:23-cr-00350-SO  Doc #: 78  Filed:  03/14/25  1 of 2.  PageID #: 467

On de novo review of the record, the Magistrate Judge’s R&R is adopted.  Defendant
Robinson  is found to be competent to enter a plea and to understand her constitutional rights. She
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 Elizabeth Lorraine Robinson is adjudged guilty to counts 1, 2, 3, 4,
6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, and 33 of the Superseding Indictment   in violation
of Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 1349, 1343 and 2, 1344 and 2, and 641 and 2.  This matter was referred to the
U.S. Probation Department for the completion of a pre-sentence investigation and report.  Sentencing
will be held on June 23, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. in Courtroom 19A, Carl B. Stokes United States Court
House, 801 West Superior Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
