Case No. 1:05-cr-00219 (W.D. Mich. Nov. 17, 2005)

Opinion

Case No. 1:05-cr-00219.

November 17, 2005


REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION


Pursuant to W.D. MICH. L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on November 16, 2005, after receiving the written consent of defendant and all counsel. At the hearing, defendant Mark Duane Morgan entered a plea of guilty to the One-Count Indictment, charging defendant with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1). On the basis of the record made at the hearing, I find that defendant is fully capable and competent to enter an informed plea; that the plea is made knowingly and with full understanding of each of the rights waived by defendant; that it is made voluntarily and free from any force, threats, or promises; that the defendant understands the nature of the charge and penalties provided by law; and that the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.

I therefore recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to the One-Count Indictment be accepted, and that the court adjudicate defendant guilty. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, acceptance of any plea agreement, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
