___________________________________ /

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Parties’ Joint Motion for Entry of Consent 

Judgment Revoking Naturalization (ECF No. 10). The matter was referred to the undersigned by 

the Honorable K. Michael Moore, United States District Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and 

the Magistrate Judge Rules of the Local Rules of the Southern District of Florida, to take all 

necessary and proper action as required by law regarding all pre-trial, non-dispositive matters, and 

for a Report and Recommendation on any dispositive matters. (ECF No. 5). The Motion, signed 

by counsel for both Parties, represents that Defendant has been advised by counsel and joins in the 

relief advanced in the instant Joint Motion (ECF No. 10). Defendant has therein admitted that he 

illegally procured his naturalization, as described in Count II of the Complaint. The Joint Motion 

further represents that counseled Defendant agrees that denaturalization is proper. The Parties 

have accordingly requested that the District Court enter judgment in the form attached to their 

Joint Motion, and the undersigned respectfully RECOMMENDS that:
