REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

CHARLES J. KAHN, Jr., 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 one count indictment against him. After cautioning and examining the defendant under oath concerning the subjects mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowledgeable and voluntary, and that the offense charged is supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of such offense. At one point during the plea hearing, the defendant expressed his view that his role in this offense was "microscopic." I further explained to him that I would not accept a plea of convenience, and that he would need to decide whether he is, in fact, guilty of the charge. I directly questioned him about this, and he agreed several times that he admitted to acts sufficient to support a conviction under the indictment. I therefore recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted and that the defendant be adjudicated guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
