REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

ELIZABETH M. TIMOTHY, Chief Magistrate Judge.

The Defendant, by consent, has appeared before me pursuant to Rule 11, Fed. R. Crim. P., and has entered a plea of guilty to the lesser included offense of transporting aliens who had entered the U.S. in violation of the law, 8 U.S.C. 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) and 1324 (a)(1)(B)(ii), 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 knowing 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 the Defendant be adjudicated guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
