UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PENSACOLA DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v. 	Case No. 3:25cr144-TKW
JOSHUA DEAN HARDY
/
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
The Defendant, by consent, has appeared before me pursuant to Rule 11, Fed.
R. Crim. P., and has entered a plea of guilty to Count One, Count Two, and Count
Three of the Indictment. 	After cautioning and examining the Defendant under oath
concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined the guilty plea
was knowing and voluntary and the offenses charged are supported by independent
bases in fact containing each of the essential elements thereof. 	I therefore
recommend the plea of guilty be accepted and the Defendant be adjudicated guilty
and have sentence imposed accordingly.
Dated: 	November 26, 2025.
