Case No. 1:25-cr-00046
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant 	to 	W.D. M ICH . 	L.CR.R. 	11.1, 	the 	undersigned 	judicial 	officer
conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on December 18, 2025, after receiving
the written consent of defendant and all counsel. There is no plea agreement. At the
hearing, defendant Marcus Deshawnte Parsons entered a plea of guilty to the single
count in the indictment, charging him with being a felon in possession of firearms, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8).
On the basis of the record made at the hearing, the undersigned finds that
defendant is competent to enter an informed plea; that the plea is made knowingly
and with full understanding of each of the rights waived by defendant; that the plea
is made voluntarily and free from any force, threats, or promises, apart from the
promises in the plea agreement; that the defendant understands the nature of the
charge and penalties provided by law; and that the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.

Accordingly, the undersigned recommends that defendant's plea of guilty to
the Indictment be accepted, that the court adjudicate defendant guilty. 	Acceptance
of the plea, adjudication of guilt, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved
for the district judge.
