Case No. 1:14-cr-00110
07-23-2014
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JAIME RENE VILLARREAL-DEL ANGEL Defendant.
Honorable Janet T. Neff REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to W.D. MICH. L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on July 22, 2014, after receiving the written consent of defendant and all counsel. There is no written plea agreement. At the hearing, defendant Jaime Rene Villarreal-Del Angel entered a plea of guilty to the Indictment charging defendant with being present in the United States without permission of the Attorney General after having been deported in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). On the basis of the record made at the hearing, I find that defendant is fully capable and competent to enter an informed plea; that the plea is made knowingly and with full understanding of each of the rights waived by defendant; that it is made voluntarily and free from any force, threats, or promises; that the defendant understands the nature of the charge and penalties provided by law; and that the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.
I therefore recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to the Indictment be accepted, and that the court adjudicate defendant guilty. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge. Date: July 23, 2014
