REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On November 24, 2025, this Court conducted a plea hearing pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
636(b). At the hearing, Defendant moved to withdraw his not guilty plea to Count One of the one-
count Indictment and entered a plea of guilty to Count One of the Indictment. There is no plea
agreement in this case. On the basis of the record made at the hearing, this Court finds: (1)
Defendant is fully capable and competent to enter an informed plea; (2) Defendant made the plea
knowingly and with full understanding of each of the rights he waived; (3) Defendant made the
plea voluntarily and free from any force, threats, or promises; (4) Defendant understands the nature
of the charge and penalties provided by law; and (5) the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.
Therefore, this Court RECOMMENDS Defendant’s motion to withdraw his not guilty plea
to Count One of the one-count Indictment be granted, his plea of guilty to Count One of the
Indictment be accepted, and the District Judge adjudicate Defendant guilty of the charges set forth
in Count One of the Indictment. This Court further RECOMMENDS Defendant remain in custody
until sentencing in this matter. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, and imposition of
sentence are specifically reserved for the District Judge.
