                ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION


       Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge

entered on August 4, 2026, recommending that the Court: (1) grant Defendant’s motion to

withdraw his not guilty plea to Count 1 of the indictment; (2) accept Defendant’s guilty plea to

Count 1 of the indictment; and (3) adjudicate Defendant guilty of knowing possession of a firearm

by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Doc. 39.

       Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and Defendant’s consent as well as that of the Government,

Doc. 35, the Magistrate Judge conducted a hearing in accordance with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules

of Criminal Procedure and determined that Defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently

entered a plea of guilty and that a factual basis exists for the plea. The Magistrate Judge therefore

recommended that the plea be accepted.

       The time for filing objections has expired, and no objections have been filed. The Court

has reviewed the Report and Recommendation, the transcript of the plea hearing, and the entire

record. The Court finds that Defendant's plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made,

that Defendant understood the nature of the charge and the consequences of the plea, and that there

is an adequate factual basis supporting the plea.

       Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation in

its entirety. Defendant's guilty plea is ACCEPTED, and Defendant is adjudged guilty of Count

One of the Indictment.

       Sentencing has been set for 11/19/2026 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 3.

       IT IS SO ORDERED, this 19th day of August, 2026.

                                           s/ Brian C. Lea
