REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the
Defendant appeared before me and entered a plea of guilty to the sole count of
the Indictment. I recommend that the District Judge accept Defendant’s guilty plea
based upon the findings below and impose sentence accordingly.
After examining the Defendant under oath, I further determined that:
• 	Defendant is fully competent and capable to understand the
proceedings and enter into a knowing and voluntary guilty plea;
• 	Defendant knowingly consented to enter his guilty plea before a U.S.
Magistrate Judge;

$ 	Defendant understands the nature of the charge in the sole count of the
Indictment and the maximum punishment associated with that charge;
• 	Defendant understands his constitutional rights associated with a jury
trial;
$ 	The offense charged in the Indictment to which the Defendant pleaded
guilty is supported by an independent basis in fact establishing each of
the essential elements of the offense;
• 	Defendant admitted to facts that establish each of the essential
elements of the offense; and, therefore,
$ 	Defendant knowingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty to the sole count
of the Indictment.
The Government and Defendant agreed with the Court’s findings.
Accordingly, I recommend that the District Judge accept the above
findings and the Defendant’s plea of guilty.
IT IS SO RECOMMENDED.
