UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. WALTER KEITH GOTHARD, Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
The defendant, by consent, has appeared before me pursuant to Rule 11, Fed.R.Crim.P., and has entered a plea of guilty to the one count indictment against him. After cautioning and examining the defendant under oath concerning the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I 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 the defendant be adjudicated guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
