REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
Defendant Marquise L. North appeared before me pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 11, Local
Rule 72.1(b)(1)(J), and 28 U.S.C. § 636 and entered a plea of guilty pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P.
11(c)(1)(A) and (B) to Counts One, Three, Six, Eight, Ten, Twelve, Fourteen, Sixteen, Eighteen,
Twenty, Twenty-Two, Twenty-Four, Twenty-Six, and Twenty-Eight of the Indictment, charging
him with violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1951, that is, Hobbs Act Robbery; Count Five of the
Indictment, charging him with a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951, that is, Attempted Hobbs Act
Robbery; and Counts Two and Four of the Indictment, charging him with violations of 18 U.S.C.
§ 924(c)(1)(A)(ii), that is, Brandishing a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence. The
Plea Agreement states that the Government agrees to dismiss Counts Seven, Nine, Eleven,
Thirteen, Fifteen, Seventeen, Nineteen, Twenty-One, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Five,
Twenty-Seven, Twenty-Nine, and Thirty at sentencing.
I determined that the guilty plea is knowledgeable and voluntary and that the offenses
charged are supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of
such offenses. A record was made of the proceeding, and a transcript has been requested.
