REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
Defendant Robert Walter Archibald, by consent, under authority ofUnited States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261 (5th Cir. 1997), has appeared before me pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment filed August 24, 2004. After cautioning and examining Defendant Robert Walter Archibald under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowledgeable and voluntary and that the offense charged is supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of such offense. I therefore recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted, and that Defendant Robert Walter Archibald be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
