Hon. Jane M. Beckering
Case No. 1:25-cr-00129
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to W.D. M ICH . L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the
captioned case on June 23, 2026, after receiving the written consent of defendant and
all counsel. At the hearing, defendant Kash Kani Jackson, entered a plea of guilty to
Count 1 of the Superseding Indictment in exchange for the undertakings made by the
government in the written plea agreement. 	In 	Count 1 of the Superseding
Indictment, defendant is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, in violation
of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1349 and 1343.
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 Count 1 of the
Superseding Indictment be accepted, that the court adjudicate defendant guilty, and
that the written plea agreement be considered for acceptance at the time of
sentencing. 	Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, acceptance of the plea
agreement, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
