UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. Kenneth W. Slater
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
The United States of America and the Defendant having both filed a written consent, appeared before me pursuant to Rule 11, FED. R. CRIM. P. and CDIL-LR 72.1(A)(24). The Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count(s) 1-2 of the Indictment. VARIABLE FORFEITURE LANGUAGE - The Defendant entered a plea of guilty to the Indictment and agreed to the forfeiture of items described in the notice of forfeiture.
The plea was made pursuant to a written plea agreement made pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(c)(1)(C). The undersigned makes no recommendation regarding the acceptance of the plea agreement.
After cautioning and examining the Defendant under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowing and voluntary as to the Indictment, and that the offense charged is supported by an independent factual basis containing each of the essential elements of the offense. I therefore recommend that the plea of be accepted, that a pre-sentence investigation and report be prepared, and that the Defendant be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
Failure to file written objections to this Report and Recommendation within 14 days from the date of its service shall bar an aggrieved party from attacking such Report and Recommendation before the assigned United States District Judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B).
ENTER this 17th day of July, 2018
