AMENDED REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS1

SHARON L. OVINGTON, Chief Magistrate Judge.

This case came on for hearing on July 22, 2015. The United States was represented by Assistant United States Attorney Sheila G. Lafferty and Defendant was represented by Attorney Cheryll A. Bennett.

The parties have entered into a plea agreement, which has been filed of record. (Doc. #14). The undersigned carefully inquired of Defendant regarding his understanding of the agreement as well as his competence to understand the agreement. Having fully inquired, the undersigned Judicial Officer finds that Defendant's tendered plea of guilty to Count One of the Information is knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Based on the statement of facts as set forth in the plea colloquy the undersigned finds that there is a sufficient factual basis for finding Defendant guilty as to Count One.

It is accordingly RECOMMENDED that the Court accept Defendant's plea of guilty to Count One of the Information and find Defendant guilty as charged in Count One of resisting and impeding a federal agent in violation of 18 U.S.C. §111(a) & (b), a Class C Felony.

Pending the Court's acceptance of Defendant's guilty plea, Defendant has been referred to the Probation Department for a pre-sentence investigation and PSR. It is further RECOMMENDED that the District Court defer acceptance of the proposed binding plea agreement until it has had the opportunity to review the PSR.
