ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Jill E. McCook’s “Report and
Recommendation” (the “Report”) entered on July 1, 2026 [Doc. 35]. 	On March 27, 2026,
Defendant Patrick Warren Hebert filed a “Motion to Suppress As Evidence The Contents of a
Suitcase 	Seized 	and 	Searched 	on 	December 	13, 	2024” 	[Doc. 	22], 	which 	he 	later
supplemented [Doc. 	24]. 	He 	clarified 	that 	he 	challenged 	“the 	warrantless 	seizure 	of
methamphetamine” from his vehicle, not just the search of a particular suitcase [See Doc. 35 at
13]. 	The United States opposed the Motion [Doc. 29]. 	Judge McCook held a hearing on the
Motion [Doc. 31], and the Parties submitted post-hearing briefs [Docs. 33, 34].
In 	the 	Report, 	Judge 	McCook 	recommends 	that 	the 	Court 	deny 	Defendant’s
Motion [Doc. 35 at 18]. 	Neither Party objected to the Report, and the time to do so has
passed [See id. n.18]. See also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Crim. P. 59(a). After reviewing the
record, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Report [Doc. 35] under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 59(a). Accordingly, the Court DENIES Defendant’s “Motion
to Suppress” [Doc. 22].
