has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to Count One of the Indictment.
After cautioning and examining DEWAYNE LEON PRATT under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule

independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of such offense. I therefore recommend that the plea of
guilty be accepted, and that DEWAYNE LEON PRATT, be adjudged guilty of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted
Felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8), and have sentence imposed accordingly. After being found guilty
