REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

The Defendant, by consent, has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 and

LRCr 56.1(b)(14)(A) and has entered a plea of guilty to Count Two of the INDICTMENT—USE

FIREARM CRIME OF VIOLENCE. Afier cautioning and examining the Defendant under oath
concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was
knowledgeable and voluntary as to Count Two and the offense charged is supported by an
independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of such offense. I therefore

recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted and the Defendant be adjudged guilty and have
