USA v. Elizee

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Case No. 17-cr-80035-BLOOM/Mathewman
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
BERT SOLOMON ELIZEE,
Defendant.
_________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant Bert Solomon Elizee’s Motion for
Reduction in Sentence (“Motion”), ECF No. [53]. The Court referred the Motion to Chief Magistrate
Judge William Matthewman for a Report and Recommendation. ECF No. [56]. On February 25, 2026,
Judge Matthewman issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that Defendant’s Motion be
denied. See ECF No. [57].
The Report and Recommendation advised the parties they had “fourteen (14) days from
the date of being served with a copy of th[e] Report and Recommendation within which to file
written objections, if any, with [this Court.]” Id. To date, the parties have not filed objections, nor
have they sought additional time to file objections. Nonetheless, the Court has conducted a de novo
review of Judge Matthewman’s Report and Recommendation, the record, and is otherwise fully
advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28
U.S.C. 	§ 	636(b)(1)). 	Upon 	review, 	the 	Court 	finds 	Judge 	Matthewman’s 	Report 	and
Recommendation to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis
and concludes that Plaintiff’s Motion is denied.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
