UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR PRE-PLEA PSI REPORT
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS
1) It appears that Defendant Castro-Marquez' criminal history could subject him to increased penalties. Castro-Marquez' decision regarding how to proceed may be drastically impacted by his sentencing exposure in this regard. The pre-plea presentence report will promote judicial economy and aid in the manner in which this case is ultimately resolved. 2) Undersigned counsel therefore respectfully requests an order directing the Department of Probation to conduct a pre-plea presentence investigation report. 3) Undersigned counsel has spoken to the prosecutor, Assistant United States Attorney Tim Vasquez, regarding this request and has no opposition.
Respectfully submitted,
RENE L. VALLADARES
Federal Public Defender
