UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. KENNETH JACKSON, Defendant.


District Judge Timothy S. Black

Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman


REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Attached hereto is a NOTICE to the parties regarding objections to this Report and Recommendation.

This case came on for hearing on Friday, June 6, 2014. The United States was represented by Assistant United States Attorney Brent Tabacchi; Defendant was represented by Nicholas Gounaris. The case was referred to the undersigned under Fed. R. Crim. P. 59 for plea proceedings. Defendant, through counsel, orally consented to proceed before the United States Magistrate Judge for this hearing.

The undersigned examined Defendant under oath as to his understanding of the Plea Agreement and the effect of entering a plea pursuant to that Agreement. Having conducted that colloquy, the Magistrate Judge is persuaded that Defendant understands the rights waived by entering a guilty plea and is competent to do so. The Magistrate Judge also concludes that execution of the Plea Agreement, which was acknowledged in open court, is Defendant's knowing, intelligent and voluntary act. It is therefore respectfully recommended that the Plea Agreement be accepted.

The Magistrate Judge concludes that Defendant's guilty plea to Count One and Count Two of the Information dated May 28, 2014 is knowing, intelligent and voluntary, and that the Statement of Facts made a part of the Plea Agreement, whose truth Defendant acknowledged, provides a sufficient factual basis for a guilty finding. It is therefore respectfully recommended that Defendant's guilty plea be accepted, and Defendant be found guilty as charged in Count One and Count Two of the Information.

Anticipating the District Court's adoption of this Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge referred Defendant for a pre-sentence investigation.
