UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ISRAEL BANDA
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
ISRAEL BANDA, by consent, under authority of United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261 (5th Cir. 1997), has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to One Count Indictment filed on June 21. 2011. After cautioning and examining the Defendant under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11,1 determined that the guilty plea was knowledgeable and voluntary and that the offense(s) 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 and plea agreement be accepted and that Defendant be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
