USA v. Creager et al

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION - 1
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
DANIEL MARIO CREAGER,
Defendant.
Case No. 4:25-cr-00254-DCN
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation filed by the United States
Magistrate Judge. Dkt. 39. On November 18, 2025, Defendant, Daniel Mario Creager,
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 plea of guilty to the charges contained in Count One of the
Indictment (Dkt. 2), and that it was 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 find that the requirements of Rule 11
have been met. 	See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9 th 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,

incorporated fully herein by reference.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendant’s plea of guilty to the crimes
charged in Count One 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 the Defendant, Daniel Mario Creager, is found to
be GUILTY as to the applicable crimes charged in the Indictment. Dkt. 2.
DATED: December 3, 2025
