REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

CONCERT{ING PLEA OF GUILTY

MALIK AQUILL WOODS, by consent, under authority of United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261

(5th Cir. lggT), has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.P. I 1, and has entered a plea of guilty to

Counts 3 and 4 of ihe 4-Count Indictment, filed on JulL 1,2022. After cautioning and

examining Defendant Malik Aquill Woods, under oath concerning each of the subjects mentioned in Rule

ll, I dete-rmined that the guilty plea was knowledgeable and voluntary and that the offense charged is

supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of such offense. I

therefore recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted, and that Defendant Malik Aquill Woods, be

adjudged guilty of (Count 3) - Possession With Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, in violation

of)f USC $ S4f (axf ) and (bXlXC), and (Count 4) Laundering Monetary Instrumentso in violation of

lg USC $ tiSO(aXtXBXi), and have sentence imposed accordingly. After being found guilty of the offense

by the district judge.

I The defendant is currently in custody and should be ordered to remain in custody.

n The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to I 8 U.S.C. $ 3 la3(a)( I ) unless the Court finds by clear

and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the

community if released.

tr The Government does nQt oppose release.

! The defendant has been compliant with the current conditions of release.

n I find by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to

any othlr person or the community if released and should therefore be released under $ 3142(b) or

(c).

n The Government opposes release.

tr The defendant has not been compliant with the conditions of release.

I lf the Court accepts this recommendation, this matter should be set for hearing upon motion of the

,/' Covernment. ,/

,/ The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to l8 U.S.C. g 3 I a3(aX2) unless ( I )(a) the Court finds there

is a substantial likelihood that a motion for acquittal or new trial will be granted, or (b) the Government has

recommended that no sentence of imprisonment be imposed, or (c) exceptional circumstances are clearly

shown under $ 31a5(c) why the defendant should not be detained, and (2) the Court finds by clear and

convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to a r person or the
