ORDER 
***  ***  ***  *** 
 After conducting Rule 11 proceedings, see DE 46 (Minute Entry), United States Magistrate 
Judge Hanly A. Ingram recommended that the undersigned accept Defendan t Sarah Robinson ’s 
guilty plea and adjudge her guilty of Count 2 of the Indictment (DE 1).  See DE 47 
(Recommendation); see also DE 34 (Plea Agreement).  Judge Ingram expressly informed  
Robinson of her right to object to the recommendation and secure de novo  review from the 
undersigned.  See DE 47 at 2-3.  The established three-day objection deadline has passed, and no 
party has objected. 
The Court is not required to “review . . . a magistrate [judge]’s factual or legal conclusions, 
under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings.” Thomas v. 
Arn, 106 S. Ct. 466, 472 (1985); see also Berkshire v. Dahl , 928 F.3d 520, 530 (6th Cir. 2019) 
(noting that the Sixth Circuit has “long held that, when a defendant does ‘not raise an argument in 
his objections to the magistrate [judge]’s report and recommendation . . . he has forfeited his right 
to raise this issue on appeal’” (quote brackets simplified) (quoting Kensu v. Haigh, 87 F.3d 172, 
176 (6th Cir. 1996))); United States v. Olano, 113 S. Ct. 1770, 1777 (1993) (distinguishing waiver 
and forfeiture); Fed. R. Crim. P. 59(b)(2) –(3) (limiting de novo review duty to “any objection”

filed); 28 U.S.C. §  636(b)(1) (limiting de novo  review duty to “those portions” of the 
recommendation “to which objection is made”). 
The Court, with no objection from any party and on full review of the record, ORDERS 
as follows: 
1. The Court ADOPTS DE 47, ACCEPTS Robinson’s guilty plea, and ADJUDGES 
Robinson guilty of Count 2 of the Indictment; and 
2. The Court will issue a separate sentencing order.1 
This the 2nd day of June, 2026.  
 
 
 
1 At the hearing, Judge Ingram remanded Robinson to custody. See DE 46; DE 37.  Absent an intervening 
order, Robinson will remain in custody pending sentencing.
