UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MARCOS FERNANDO VALLE

IRMA C. RAMIREZ UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

MARCOS FERNANDO VALLE, by consent, under authority of United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261 (5^th Cir. 1997), has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to Counts 1 and 2 of the 2 Count Superseding Information, filed on February 19, 2020. After cautioning and examining Defendant Marcos Fernando Valle, under oath concerning each of 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 Defendant Marcos Fernando Valle, be adjudged guilty of (Count 1) - Conspiracy to Possess With Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, in violation of 21 USC § 846; and (Count 2) - Conspiracy to Launder Monetary Instruments, in violation of 21 USC § 1956(a)(1)(A)(i) and 1956(h), and have sentence imposed accordingly. After being found guilty of the offense by the district judge, [v] The defendant is currently in custody and should be ordered to remain in custody. [ ] The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1) unless the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released.

[ ] The Government does not oppose release.
[ ] The defendant has been compliant with the current conditions of release.
[ ] I find by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released and should therefore be released under § 3142(b) or (c).

[ ] The Government opposes release.
[ ] The defendant has not been compliant with the conditions of release.
[ ] If the Court accepts this recommendation, this matter should be set for hearing upon motion of the Government.

[ ] The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2) unless (1)(a) the Court finds there is a substantial likelihood that a motion for acquittal or new trial will be granted, or (b) the Government has recommended that no sentence of imprisonment be imposed, or (c) exceptional circumstances are clearly shown under § 3145(c) why the defendant should not be detained, and (2) the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released.

Signed June 23 2020.
