UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. VALERIE AGUILAR (5)
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
VALERIE AGUILAR (5), by consent, under authority of United 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 7 of the Second Superseding Indictment. After cautioning and examining VALERIE AGUILAR (5) under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, 1 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 VALERIE AGUILAR (5) be adjudged guilty of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B), Possession with the Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, and 18 U.S.C. § 2, Aiding and Abetting, and have sentence imposed accordingly. After being found guilty of me offense by the District Judge:
[√] The Defendant is currently in custody and should be ordered to remain in custody.
[ ] The Defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1) unless the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released.
[ ] The Government does not oppose release.
[ ] The Defendant has been compliant with the current conditions of release.
[ ] I find by clear and convincing evidence that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released and should therefore be released under 18U.S.C. § 3l42(b)or (c).
[ ] The Government opposes release.
[ ] The Defendant has not been compliant with the conditions of release.
[ ] If the Court accepts this recommendation, this matter should be set for hearing upon motion of the Government.
[ ] The Defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2) unless: (1)(a) the Court finds mere is a substantial likelihood that a motion for acquittal or new trial will be granted, or (b) the Government has recommended that no sentence of imprisonment be imposed, or (c) exceptional circumstances are clearly shown under § 3145(c) why the Defendant should not be detained; and (2) the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the Defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released.
