U.S. Magistrate Judge D. Edward Snow accepted Noble’s plea in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. A presentence investigation report has been ordered following this acceptance.
A U.S. District Court Judge will decide Noble’s sentence after reviewing the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other relevant statutory factors.
Noble is currently held by the United States Marshals Service as he awaits sentencing. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Gross represented the prosecution in this case.
