 This criminal case is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ( “R & R”) of 
the United States M agistrate Judge (Doc. No.  130), recommending that the Court  accept 
Defendant’s guilty plea.  There being no objections, the Court ADOPTS the R & R in full.  The 
parties’ unopposed, joint motion to change plea (Doc. No. 116 ) is GRANTED, and the Court 
ACCEPTS Defendant’s plea of guilty as charged in Count 1 of the Indictment, which charges him 
with conspiracy to possess with i ntent to distribute 50 grams or m ore of methamphetamine, in 
violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 84l(a)(l), 84l(b)(l)(A), and 846.  The Court DEFERS  the decision of 
whether to accept the plea agreement until the sentencing hearing.  Counsel for both sides are 
ADVISED that voluntary surrender is only available  in  limited  circumstances,  see  18  U.S.C.  
§ 3143, and Defendants are typically taken into custody at the conclusion of the sentencing hearing.
