Brian Tsosie, ) AND ORDER

)

Defendant. ) )

TO THE HONORABLE DAVID G. CAMPBELL, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE:

Upon Defendant's request to enter a plea of guilty pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules

of Criminal Procedure, this matter came on for hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge David K.

Duncan on September 29, 2005 with the written consents of the defendant, counsel for the

defendant, and counsel for the United States of America.

The hearing on defendant's plea of guilty was in full compliance with Rule 11, Federal

Rules of Criminal Procedure, before the Magistrate Judge in open court and on the record.

In consideration of that hearing and the statements made by the defendant under oath on the

record and in the presence of counsel, and the remarks of the Assistant United States Attorney and

of counsel for defendant,

I FIND as follows:

(1) that defendant understands the nature of the charge against him to which the plea is

offered;

(2) that defendant understands his right to trial by jury, to persist in his plea of not guilty,

to the assistance of counsel at trial, to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses, and his right

against compelled self-incrimination;

(3) that defendant understands what the maximum possible sentence is, including the effect

of the supervised release term, and defendant understands that the sentencing guidelines are

advisory, not mandatory, and that the Court may sentence outside those guidelines;

(4) that the plea of guilty by the defendant has been knowingly and voluntarily made and

is not the result of force or threats or of promises apart from the plea agreement between the

parties;

(5) that defendant is competent to plead guilty;

(6) that the defendant understands that his answers may later be used against him in a

prosecution for perjury or false statement;

(7) that defendant understands that by pleading guilty he waives the right to a jury trial;

(8) that defendant understands the terms of any plea agreement provision waiving the right

to appeal or to collaterally attack the sentence;

(9) that there is a factual basis for the defendant's plea; and further,

I RECOMMEND that the Court accept the defendant's plea of guilty.

IT IS ORDERED that any objection to the guilty plea proceedings and any request for

supplementation of those proceedings be made by the parties in writing and shall be specific as to

the objection or request made. All objections or requests for supplementation shall be filed within

ten (10) days of the date of service of a copy of these findings unless extended by an Order of the

assigned district judge.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any letters, documents, etc. that the defendant wants the

Court to consider before sentencing must be filed with the district court seven (7) calendar days

before the sentencing or the letters, documents, etc. may be deemed untimely.

DATED this 3rd day of October, 2005.
