KENNETH RUSSELL BARR, JR §

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

KENNETH RUSSELL BARR, JR, by consent, under authority of United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261 (5th Cir. 

1997), has appeared before me pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.P. 11, and has entered a plea of guilty to Count(s) One of the 

Indictment After cautioning and examining KENNETH RUSSELL BARR, JR under oath concerning each of the subjects 

mentioned in Rule 11, I determined that the guilty plea was knowledgeable and voluntary and that the offense(s) 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 KENNETH RUSSELL BARR, JR be adjudged guilty of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 

and 841(b)(1)(B)(viii) and 860, namely, Possession of a Controlled Substance With Intent to Distribute, said Substance 

Being 50 Grams or More of a Mixture or Substance Containing a Detectable Amount of Methamphetamine, a Schedule II 

Controlled Substance, Within 1000 Feet of the Real Property Comprising Kaufman High School, a Public Secondary School

and have sentence imposed accordingly. After being found guilty of the offense by the district judge, 

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

☐ The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1) 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.

☐ The Government does not oppose release.

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

☐ I find 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 and should therefore be released under § 3142(b) or (c). 

☐ The Government opposes release.

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

☐ If the Court accepts this recommendation, this matter should be set for hearing upon motion of the 

Government.

☐ The defendant must be ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2) unless (1)(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 § 3145(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 any other person or the community if released.

Date: 18th day of May, 2023
