UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. OTTO FOUNTAIN, JR., a.k.a. “JR,” Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
NANCY JOSEPH UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
On June 23, 2022, defendant Otto Fountain, Jr. appeared before me pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11. Fountain entered a plea of guilty to Count Two of the Superseding Indictment.
After cautioning and examining Fountain under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowing and voluntary, and that the offense charged is supported by an independent factual basis containing each of the essential elements of the offense.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED that Fountain's plea of guilty be accepted; that a presentence investigation and report be prepared; and that Fountain be adjudicated guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
Your attention is directed to General L.R. 72(c), 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 59(b), or Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 72(b) if applicable, whereby written objections to any recommendation or order herein, or part thereof, may be filed within fourteen days of the date of service of this recommendation or order. Objections are to be filed in accordance with the Eastern District of Wisconsin's electronic case filing procedures. Failure to file a timely objection with the district court shall result in a waiver of a party's right to appeal. If no response or reply will be filed, please notify the Court in writing.
