release violation; Defendant also understands that the disposition guidelines are advisory

circumstances;

(4) that Defendant's admission to violating his supervised release has been

knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made and is not the result of force or threats;

(5) that Defendant is competent to admit to a supervised release violation;

the Defendant’s case up to this point in time; and further,
