Opinion
Criminal Action No. 11-cr-00324-MSK

Honorable Marcia S. Krieger
ORDER CONCERNING PRE-SENTENCE INVESTIGATION REPORT
The Defendant has entered a plea of guilty pursuant to a plea agreement entered into with the United States of America. This agreement includes a stipulation of facts setting forth the circumstances of the commission of the offense and the circumstances affecting the Defendant's behavior. Upon consideration of that stipulation, this Court finds and concludes that the factual stipulation is sufficient for inclusion in the presentence report to satisfy the requirements of Rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. It is inappropriate to conduct an independent investigation into the offense behavior because it would be inconsistent with the parties' plea agreement and could adversely affect the rights of the parties. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that in making the pre-sentence investigation and report in this case, the probation service will include the stipulation of facts as the statement of the nature and circumstances of the offense and offense conduct and shall not conduct an independent factual investigation of same. Such statements shall be considered by this Court in making its determination under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1) with respect to the nature and circumstances of the offense.
BY THE COURT:
Marcia S. Krieger
United States District Judge
