UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA

NORTHERN DIVISION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v. Case No: 2:15-cr-340-CEM-SRW

ALTA LEE JUNIOR WILLIAMS

ANTONIO MARQUIS RICHARDS

/

ORDER

THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Defendant Alta Lee Junior Williams’ Motion to 

Suppress (Doc. 39). United States Magistrate Judge Susan Russ Walker submitted a Report and 

Recommendation (Doc. 56), which recommends that the motion be denied to the extent Defendant 

requests a Franks1 hearing. (R. & R. at 4). Specifically, Judge Walker recommends that this Court 

find that Defendant has failed to meet his preliminary burden under Franks with respect to the 

alleged search warrant omissions and is not, therefore, entitled to a hearing or other relief on this 

basis. (Id. at 3–4). Judge Walker further ordered that, due to exigent circumstances created by 

Defendant’s untimely filing of the motion, any objection to the Report and Recommendation had 

to be filed on or before January 15, 2016. (Jan. 11, 2016 Order, Doc. 57, at 1–2).

After an independent de novo review of the record, and noting that no objections were 

timely filed, this Court agrees entirely with the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Report 

and Recommendation.

Therefore, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:

 1 Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154 (1978).
