Plea of Guilty of the United States Magistrate Judge, and no objections thereto having been filed
within 14 days of service in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the undersigned District Judge
is of the opinion that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge concerning the Plea
of Guilty is correct, and it is hereby accepted by the Court. Accordingly, the Court accepts the
plea of guilty, and DERIC POWELL (1) is hereby adjudged guilty of Count One of the
Indictment, that is Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§

The Court adopts the findings of the United States Magistrate Judge by clear and
convincing evidence that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person
