DISTRICT JUDGE THOMAS L. LUDINGTON

JUAN DELGADO, JR. , MAGISTRATE JUDGE PATRICIA T. MORRIS

Defendant.

 /

MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT, FINDINGS, AND 

RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

I. REPORT AND FINDINGS

This case was referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 

636(b)(1)(B) and 636(b)(3) for purposes of receiving, on consent of the parties, Defendant’s 

offer of a plea of guilty. Defendant and his counsel appeared before me on July 14, 2016, and 

plead guilty to count one of the first superseding indictment. In open court, I examined 

Defendant under oath, confirmed Defendant’s consent, and then advised and questioned 

Defendant regarding each of the inquiries prescribed by Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of 

Criminal Procedure.

Based upon Defendant’s answers and demeanor, I HEREBY FIND: (1) that Defendant 

is competent to enter a plea; (2) that Defendant’s plea is entered knowingly, intelligently, and 

voluntarily, without coercion; and (3) that the offense(s) to which Defendant pleaded guilty 

is(are) supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of 

the offense. Therefore, I have ordered the preparation of a presentence investigation report.

II. RECOMMENDATION

For the reasons set forth above, IT IS RECOMMENDED that, subject to the Court’s 

consideration of the plea agreement pursuant to Rule 11(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal 

Procedure, Defendant’s plea be accepted, Defendant be adjudged guilty and the Court impose 

sentence.

III. REVIEW

Pursuant to Rule 72(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[w]ithin 14 days 

after being served with a copy of the recommended disposition, a party may serve and file 

specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations. A party may 

respond to another party’s objections within 14 days after being served with a copy.” FED. R.

CIV. P. 72(b)(2). See also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Failure to file specific objections constitutes 

a waiver of any further right of appeal. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 106 S. Ct. 466, 88 L. 

Ed.2d 435 (1985); Howard v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991);

United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). The parties are advised that making 

some objections, but failing to raise others, will not preserve all the objections a party may 

have to this Report and Recommendation. Willis v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 931 F.2d 

390, 401 (6th Cir. 1991); Smith v. Detroit Fed’n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 

(6th Cir. 1987). Pursuant to E.D. Mich. LR 72.1(d)(2), a copy of any objections is to be served 

upon this Magistrate Judge.
