REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge conducted a plea hearing in this case on September 18, 2017. At the hearing, Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count One of the one count Indictment. On the basis of the record made at the hearing, the Court finds that Defendant is fully competent and capable of entering an informed plea; the plea is made knowingly and with full understanding of each of the rights waived by Defendant; it is made voluntarily and free from any force, threats, or promises; Defendant understands the nature of the charges and penalties provided by law; and the plea has a sufficient basis in fact. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, acceptance of the Plea Agreement, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the District Court Judge.

I therefore recommend that the Court: (1) grant Defendant's motion to withdraw his not guilty plea to Count One of the one count Indictment; (2) accept Defendant's guilty plea to Count One of the one count Indictment; (3) adjudicate Defendant guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of Title 18 United States Code Section 922(g); and (4) order that Defendant remain in custody until further order of this Court or sentencing in this matter.

The Defendant's sentencing hearing is scheduled on January 8, 2018, at 2:00 p.m.
