CRIMINAL ACTION FILE NO. 4:16-CR-16-HLM-WEJ-1

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. LELAND EUGENE SEVERS, Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION RE: PLEA OF GUILTY
The defendant, by consent, has appeared before me and entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment [1]. After cautioning and examining the defendant under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Fed. R. Crim. Pro. 11, I REPORT that the guilty plea was knowing and voluntary, and that each offense charged is supported by an independent basis in fact establishing each of the essential elements of such offense. I therefore RECOMMEND that the plea of guilty be accepted and that the defendant be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
SO RECOMMENDED, this 4th day of October, 2016.
