UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. EUGENE MAJOR BIGBACK, JR., Defendant.

Dana L. Christensen, Chief District Judge United States District Court

ORDER

United States Magistrate Judge Timothy J. Cavan entered Findings and Recommendation in this matter on January 18, 2019. 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 Cavan recommended this Court accept Eugene Major Bigback, Jr.'s guilty plea after Bigback appeared before him pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, and entered a plea of guilty to failure to register as a sex offender in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a) as charged in the Indictment.

I find no clear error in Judge Cavan's Findings and Recommendation (Doc. 23), and I adopt them in full.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Eugene Major Bigback, Jr.'s motion to change plea (Doc.14) is GRANTED and Eugene Major Bigback, Jr. is adjudged guilty as charged in the Indictment.

DATED this 4th day of February, 2019.
