REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

LARRY BOYLE, Magistrate Judge

On May 29, 2003 Defendant appeared before the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge to enter a change of plea pursuant to a written plea agreement. Defendant executed a written waiver of the right to have the presiding United States District Judge take his/her change of plea. Thereafter, the Court explained to Defendant the nature of the charges, the maximum penalties applicable, his/her constitutional rights, the effect of the Sentencing Guidelines, and that the District Judge would not be bound by the agreement of the parties as to the penalty to be imposed.

Having conducted the change of plea hearing and having inquired of Defendant and his/her counsel, and counsel for the United States, the Court concludes that there is a factual basis for Defendant's plea of guilty, and that it was entered voluntarily and with full knowledge of the consequences, and that the plea should be accepted.

Based upon the foregoing, this Court recommends that the District Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty to Count One of the Indictment.
