REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DAVID J. NOVAK, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B)and (b)(3) upon the Defendant's request to enter a plea of guilty pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 and the statement of facts that have been agreed upon by the United States and the Defendant. The matter was presented to the court upon the written consent of the Defendant and counsel for the Defendant to proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge, said consent including the Defendant's understanding that he consented to not only having the Magistrate Judge conduct the hearing, but also to having the Magistrate Judge make necessary findings and accepting any guilty plea as may be entered that could not be withdrawn except for fair and just reason.
The Defendant pled guilty to the Indictment in open court and pursuant to a Rule 11 inquiry. Upon consideration of the responses and statements made by the Defendant under oath, on the record, and based upon the statement of facts presented, the court makes the following findings:
1. That the Defendant is competent to enter a plea of guilty;
2. That the Defendant understands the nature of the charge against him to which his plea is offered;
3. That the Defendant understands what the maximum possible penalties are upon conviction of the offense charged, including any mandatory minimum periods of confinement, the effect of any required term of supervised release, the loss of various civil rights (if applicable, including the right to vote, the right to hold public office, the right to own and possess a firearm), the possibility of adverse immigration consequences (if applicable), the required imposition of a special assessment, forfeiture of real and/or personal property (if applicable), and restitution (if applicable);
4. That the sentencing court has jurisdiction and authority to impose any sentence within the statutory maximums provided, but that the court will determine the defendant's actual sentence in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and that the court, after considering the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), may impose a sentence above or below the advisory sentencing range, subject only to review by higher courts for reasonableness;
5. That the Defendant understands his right to persist in a plea of not guilty and require that the matter proceed to trial with all the rights and privileges attending a trial, including, but not limited to: the right to effective assistance of counsel; the right to use the power and processes of the court to compel evidence on the Defendant's behalf; the right to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses; the right to present relevant evidence; the right to remain silent; and the right to trial by jury;
6. That the plea of guilty entered by the Defendant was knowingly and voluntarily entered and is not the result of force or intimidation of any kind; and
7. That the plea of guilty entered by the Defendant was knowingly and voluntarily made with full knowledge of the consequences and with an independent basis in fact to support said plea.
Accordingly, the court accepted the Defendant's plea of guilty to the Indictment and entered judgment of guilt on the subject charge. It is therefore the recommendation of this court that its findings, including the acceptance of the Defendant's plea of guilty and resulting judgment of guilt, be adopted.
