REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
PHILLIP J. GREEN, Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to W.D. MICH. L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on July 11, 2016, after receiving the written consent of defendant and all counsel. At the hearing, defendant Rochelle R. Velasquez entered a plea of guilty to the single count Indictment in exchange for the undertakings made by the government in the written plea agreement. In the single count Indictment, defendant is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States through the filling of false claims in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 286. 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.
Accordingly, I recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to the single count of the Indictment be accepted, and that the court adjudicate defendant guilty. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
