3, Defendant fully understands the terms of the plea agreement and plea agreement
supplement;

4, Defendant understands all constitutional and statutory rights and wishes to waive those

rights, including the right to a trial by jury and the right to appear before a United States

district judge;

5. Defendant’s plea is made freely and voluntarily,

6. Defendant is competent to enter this plea of guilty;

7. There is a factual basis for Defendant’s plea of guilty; and

8. The ends of justice are served by acceptance of Defendant’s plea of guilty.

Based on the above, I recommend that Defendant’s plea of guilty be accepted, that
Defendant be adjudged guilty, and that sentence be imposed accordingly.

Although I have conducted these proceedings and accepted Defendant’s plea of guilty, the
United States district judge has the power to review my actions and possesses final decision-
making authority in this proceeding. Thus, if Defendant has any objections to these findings or
any other action of the undersigned, he is required to make those known to the United States district
judge within fourteen (14) days of today.

The Clerk will furnish a copy of this Order to each of attorney of record.

Signed on: 31st day of March, 2026.
