UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CHRISTOPHER STEVEN HARWARD, Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
CELESTE F. BREMER U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States of America and the Defendant, having both filed a written consent, appeared before me pursuant to Rule 11, Fed. R. Crim. P. and L. Cr. R. 11. The Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment, and stipulated to the judgment of forfeiture. After cautioning and examining the Defendant under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowing and voluntary as to this count, and that the offense charged is supported by an independent factual basis concerning each of the essential elements of such offense. I, therefore, recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted, ta judgment of forfeiture be entered, that a pre-sentence investigation and report be prepared, and that the Defendant be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
