Hon. Jane M. Beckering
Case No. 1:25-cr-00117
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to W.D. M ICH . L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the
captioned case on May 14, 2026, after receiving the written consent of defendant and
all counsel. 	There is no plea agreement. At the hearing, defendant Jennifer Weber,
entered a plea of guilty to counts 1 and 2 of the Superseding Indictment. In count 1
of the 	Superseding Indictment, defendant is charged with conspiracy to distribute
and possess with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of a mixture containing a
detectable of fentanyl, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1). 	In count 2 of
the Superseding Indictment, defendant is charged with possession with intent to
distribute 400 grams or more of a mixture containing a detectable of fentanyl, in
violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 802(58).
On the basis of the record made at the hearing, I find that defendant is fully
capable and 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 it 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, I recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to counts 1 and 2 of
the Superseding 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.
