REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

STEPHEN C. WILLIAMS, Magistrate Judge.

The United States of America and the Defendant, having both filed a written consent, appeared before me pursuant to FEDERAL RULE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 11 and SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS LOCAL RULE 72.1(b)(2). The Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count 1 of the Information.

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, and that the offenses charged are supported by an independent factual basis containing each of the essential elements of such offense.

I therefore RECOMMEND that the Defendant's plea of guilty be accepted; that a presentence investigation report be prepared, and that the Defendant be adjudicated guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
