USA v. Domingo

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
JOSE ALFREDO DOMINGO,
Defendant.
________________________________/
Hon. Jane M. Beckering
Case No. 1:26-cr-48
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to W.D. Mich. LCrR. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on
June 3, 2026, after receiving consent of defendant and all counsel in writing and on the record.
There is no written plea agreement. At the hearing, defendant Jose Alfredo Domingo entered a
plea of guilty to the Indictment charging defendant with Alien Reentry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. §
1326(a). 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; that the defendant understands the nature of the charge and penalties provided
by law; and that the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.
I therefore recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to the Indictment be accepted and
that the court adjudicate defendant guilty. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, and
imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
