UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DAUDA BAYOH, Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY (PLEA AGREEMENT)
ROSS A. WALTERS U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States of America and the defendant, having both filed a written consent to conduct of the plea proceedings by a magistrate judge, appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 and LCrR 11. The defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of an Indictment which charged him with Unlawful User in Possession of a Firearm, in violation of Title 18, United States
Code, Sections 922(g)(3) and 924(a)(2). Defendant also agreed to forfeiture of the property listed in the Indictment. After cautioning and examining the defendant under oath concerning each of the subjects addressed in Rule 11, 1 determined that the guilty plea was in its entirety voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently made and did not result from force, threats, or promises. I further determined that there is a factual basis for the guilty plea on each of the essential elements of the offense in question. A plea agreement was disclosed at the plea proceeding and defendant stated he understood its terms and agreed to be bound by them. To the extent the plea agreement is of the type specified in Rule 11(c)(1)(A) or (C) defendant was advised the district judge to whom the case is assigned may accept the plea agreement, reject it, or defer a decision whether to accept or reject it until the judge has reviewed the presentence report as provided by Rule 11(c)(3)(A). To the extent the plea agreement is of the type specified in Rule 11(c)(1)(B) defendant was advised by the Court that defendant has no right to withdraw the plea if the Court does not follow a recommendation or request in question.
I recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted and that the defendant be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly. A presentence report will be ordered and sentencing proceedings scheduled.
