Background
Jesus Alberto Ramos-Carrasquedo was charged in Count One of an indictment with reentry of a deported alien in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b).
The district court referred administration of Ramos-Carrasquedo’s guilty plea to U.S. Magistrate Judge Christine L. Stetson. After conducting a hearing under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, Judge Stetson recommended that the district court accept the plea and adjudge Ramos-Carrasquedo guilty on Count One. Neither party objected to her findings and recommendation.

Consistent with the plea and recommendation, the court adjudged Ramos-Carrasquedo guilty on Count One of the indictment for violating 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b). The court also requested that the U.S. Probation Department expedite preparation of the presentence investigation report.
