REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
ELLEN S. CARMODY, Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to W.D. MICH. L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on March 11, 2015, after receiving the written consent of defendant and all counsel. At the hearing, defendant Samuel Thurman entered a plea of guilty to Count One of the Indictment in exchange for the undertakings made by the government in the written plea agreement. In Count One, defendant is charged with conspiracy to distribute heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(C). 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 One of the Indictment be accepted, that the court adjudicate defendant guilty, and that the written plea agreement be considered for acceptance at the time of sentencing. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, acceptance of the plea agreement, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
