Plaintiff,
vs. 	Case No. 4:24CR00121 JAR
CRAIG A. SPIEGEL, M.D. ,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge Stephen R. Welby (ECF No. 186). 	On January 2, 2025, Defendant Spiegel
filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence (ECF No. 115). 	After full briefing of the issues and a
hearing, Magistrate Judge Welby recommends the Court deny Defendant's Motion to Suppress
Evidence.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), these matters were referred to United States Magistrate
Judge Stephen R. We lb y, who filed a Report and Recommendation on August 11 , 2025 (ECF
No. 186). 	Defendant Spiegel filed objections to the Report and Recommendation on September
4, 2025 (ECF No. 189), stating that he objects to the conclusions drawn by Magistrate Judge
Welby. 	After consideration of all briefing and the factual record made at the hearing, the Court
finds that the Magistrate Judge ' s conclusions are supported by the evidence, and Defendant
Spiegel ' s objections are not persuasive.
The Magistrate Judge recommends that the Defendant's Motion to Suppress Evidence be
denied. 	After de novo review of this matter, this Court adopts the Magistrate Judge' s
recommendation.
