This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of
Magistrate Judge Noelle C. Collins addressing Defendant’s Motion to Suppress
Statements. (ECF No. 35). In her November 3, 2025 Report and Recommendation,
Judge Collins recommends that Defendant’s Motion be denied as moot without
prejudice because the Government has agreed not to use, in its case-in-chief, any
statements made by Defendant before receiving the Miranda admonition.
No objections were filed to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to
do so has expired. After de novo review of the record, the Court adopts the Report
and Recommendation in full.
