REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TIMOTHY P. GREELEY, Magistrate Judge.

Pursuant to W.D. MICH. L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on August 26, 2014, after receiving the written consent of defendant and all counsel. At the hearing, defendant TINA MARIE VALIQUETTE entered a plea of guilty to Count Four of the Third Superseding Indictment, charging defendant with Possession and Distribution of Pseudoephedrine, a List I chemical, with knowledge that it will be used to make methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(c)(2), in exchange for the undertakings made by the government in the written plea agreement. 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, apart from the promises in the plea agreement; that the defendant understands the nature of the charge and penalties provided by law; and that the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.

I therefore recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to Count Four of the Third Superseding Indictment be accepted, that the court adjudicate defendant guilty, and that the written plea agreement be considered for acceptance at the time of sentencing. It is further recommended that the order setting conditions of defendant's release remain in effect pending sentencing. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, acceptance of the plea agreement, determination of defendant's status pending sentencing, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
