REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
PHILLIP J. GREEN, Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to W.D. MICH. L.CR.R. 11.1, I conducted a plea hearing in the captioned case on December 6, 2019, after receiving the written consent of defendant and all counsel. There is no plea agreement. At the hearing, defendant Teodulo Zepeda entered a plea of guilty to Counts 1 and 2 of the Indictment. Count 1 charges defendant with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1); and count 2 charges defendant with distribution of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 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; that the defendant understands the nature of the charge and penalties provided by law; and that the plea has a sufficient basis in fact.
Accordingly, I recommend that defendant's plea of guilty to Counts 1 and 2 of the Indictment be accepted, and that the court adjudicate defendant guilty. Acceptance of the plea, adjudication of guilt, and imposition of sentence are specifically reserved for the district judge.
