MEGAN LEIGH ROSEWELL §

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

MEGAN LEIGH ROSEWELL, by consent, under authority of United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261 (Sth Cir.
1997), has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to Count(s) One of the five-
count Indictment filed May 7, 2024. After cautioning and examining MEGAN LEIGH ROSEWELL under oath concerning
each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, 1 determined that the guilty plea(s) was knowledgeable and voluntary and that
the offense(s) charged is supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of such offense.
| therefore recommend that the plea(s) of guilty be accepted, and that MEGAN LEIGH ROSEWELL be adjudged guilty of
21 U.S.C. §846 Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, and have sentence imposed
accordingly. After being found guilty of the offense by the district judge,

J The defendant is currently in custody and should be ordered to remain in custody.

x The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1) unless the Court finds by clear and
convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community

if released.

»<( The Government does not oppose release.

D-.( The defendant has been compliant with the current conditions of release.

4 I find by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other

person or the community if released and should therefore be released under § 3142(b) or (c).

O The Government opposes release.

O The defendant has not been compliant with the conditions of release.

O If the Court accepts this recommendation, this matter should be set for hearing upon motion of the
Government.

O The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2) unless (1)(a) the Court finds there is a
substantial likelihood that a motion for acquittal or new trial will be granted, or (b) the Government has
recommended that no sentence of imprisonment be imposed, or (c) exceptional circumstances are clearly shown
under § 3145(c) why the defendant should not be detained, and (2) the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence
that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released.
