REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

PAUL STICKNEY, Magistrate Judge

James Sermons, 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 Count(s) 4 of the Indictment. After cautioning and examining the defendant 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(s) 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 be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
