UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF SOUTH DAKOTA

WESTERN DIVISION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 9:22-CR-50115-JLV
Plaintiff,

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
vs.

TYLER BULLMAN,

Defendant.

This matter came before the court for a change of plea hearing on
October 14, 2022. The Defendant, Tyler Bullman, appeared in person and by
his counsel, the Assistant Federal Public Defender, while the United States
appeared by its Assistant United States Attorney.

The defendant consented in open court to the change of plea before a
United States magistrate judge. This court finds that the defendant’s consent
was voluntary and upon the advice of counsel. The government also consented
to the plea hearing before a magistrate judge. Further, the parties waived their
right to object to the report and recommendation.

Defendant has reached a plea agreement wherein he intends to plead
guilty to the Indictment which charges him with Possession of a Firearm by a
Prohibited Person, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). At the

hearing, the defendant was advised of the nature of the charges to which the

defendant would plead guilty and the maximum penalties applicable,
specifically: ten (10) years in prison; a $250,000 fine; or both; three (3) years
supervised release; two (2) additional years’ imprisonment if supervised release
is revoked; a $100 special assessment; and restitution.

Upon questioning the defendant personally in open court, it is the finding
of the court that the defendant is fully competent and capable of entering an
informed plea, that the defendant is aware of the nature of the charges and the
consequences of the plea, and that his plea of guilty to the Indictment is a
knowing and voluntary plea supported by an independent basis in fact
containing each of the essential elements of the offense. The defendant’s guilty
plea to the Indictment is accepted. It is my report and recommendation that
the defendant be adjudged guilty of that offense.

DATED this 14th day of October, 2022.
