United States District Court

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

DALLAS DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA §
V. CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 3:24-CR-0322-S
DWIGHT EMORY ISLAND (1) :

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

DWIGHT EMORY ISLAND by consent, under authority of United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261 (Sth Cir. 1997),
has appeared before me pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment filed
August 6, 2024. After cautioning and examining DWIGHT EMORY ISLAND Sunder oath concerning each of the
subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowledgeable and voluntary and that the offense
charged is supported by an 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 DWIGHT EMORY ISLAND be adjudged guilty of Conspiracy
to Possess with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1) and
(b)(1)(C), and have sentence imposed accordingly.

KK The Defendant is currently in custody and should be ordered to remain in custody.

O The Defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1) unless the Court finds by clear and
convincing evidence that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community

if released.

O The Government does not oppose release.

O The Defendant has been compliant with the current conditions of release.

O I find by clear and convincing evidence that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other

OoOd

person or the community if released and should therefore be released under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(b) or (c).

The Government opposes release.
The Defendant has not been compliant with the conditions of release.

If the Court accepts this recommendation, this matter should be set for hearing upon motion of the
Government.

O The Defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2) unless: (1)(a) the Court finds there is
a substantial likelihood that a motion for acquittal or new trial will be granted, or (b) the Government has
recommended that no sentence of imprisonment be imposed, or (c) exceptional circumstances are clearly shown
under § 3145(c) why the Defendant should not be detained; and (2) the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence
that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released.
