DONALD MOLLOY, Chief Judge
United States Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch entered Findings and Recommendation in this matter on September 2, 2010. Neither party objected and therefore they are not entitled to de novo review of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). This Court will review the Findings and Recommendation for clear error.McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000).
Judge Lynch recommended this Court accept Michael Benton Sullivan's guilty plea after Sullivan appeared before him pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, and entered his plea of guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, as set forth in the Indictment.
I find no clear error in Judge Lynch's Findings and Recommendation (dkt # 19) and I adopt them in full, including the recommendation to defer acceptance of the Plea Agreement until sentencing when the Court will have reviewed the Plea Agreement and Presentence Investigation Report.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Michael Benton Sullivan's motion to change plea (dkt # 11) is GRANTED.
DATED this 1st day of October, 2010.
