Pursuant to Title 28, United States Code, Section 636(b), and with the written and oral consent of the defendant, this matter has been referred by the District Court for administration of guilty plea and allocution under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

This cause came before the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge for a change of plea hearing and allocution of the defendant, Ashely Sias, on June 8, 2021. The defendant was present with her counsel, Harold D. Register, III. Assistant United States Attorney Robert Abendroth appeared on behalf of the government.

After the hearing, and for the reasons orally assigned, it is the finding of the undersigned that the defendant Ashley Sias is fully competent, that her plea of guilty is knowing and voluntary, and that her guilty plea to Count 1 of the Bill of Information filed in this case is fully supported by a written factual basis for each of the essential elements of the offense.

Additionally, the defendant voluntarily waived the fourteen-day objection period that would otherwise be available under 28 U.S.C. § 636. (Rec. Doc. 303).

Therefore, the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge recommends that the District Court ACCEPT the guilty plea of the defendant, Ashley Sias, in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement filed in the record of these proceedings, and that Ashley Sias be finally adjudged guilty of the offense charged in Count 1 of the Bill of Information.
