ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION - 1 
 
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
 
FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
 
 Plaintiff, 
 
 v. 
 
JAMES EUGENE JACKSON, 
 
 Defendant. 
 
 

 
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT 
AND RECOMMENDATION 
 
 
 
 Before the Court is a R eport and R ecommendation filed by the United States 
Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 25). On May 12, 2026 , Defendant James Eug en Jackson 
appeared before the Magistrate Judge to enter a change of plea pursuant to a written 
plea agreement. The Magistrate Judge conducted the plea hearing and concluded there 
is a factual basis for Defendant’s admission to forfeiture and plea of guilty to the charges 
contained in Count Two of the Indictment (Dkt. 2), and that they were entered 
voluntarily and with full knowledge of the consequences. No objections to the Report 
and Recommendation have been filed. 
 The Court now has reviewed the record and finds that the requirements of Rule 
11 have been met. See United States v. Reyna -Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003). 
Specifically, the Court finds that the Magistrate Judge adhered to the requirements of 
Rule 11(b); that under Rule 11(b)(2), the Defendant’s plea was voluntary and not the

result of force or threats or promises apart from the plea agreement; and that a factual 
basis for the plea exists. See id. Accordingly, 
 NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and 
Recommendation (Dkt. 25) shall be, and the same is hereby, ADOPTED as the decision 
of the District Court and incorporated fully herein by reference. 
 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendant’s plea of guilty to the crimes 
charged in Count Two of the Indictment (Dkt. 2) shall be, and the same is hereby, 
ACCEPTED by the Court as a knowing and voluntary plea supported by an independent 
basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of the offense. 
 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant is found GUILTY as to the 
applicable crimes charged in Count Two of the Indictment (Dkt. 2).
