EDWARD T. FODREY,
CRIMINAL NO. 2:11-CR-46
Date Filed: April 4, 2011
The United States of America, by undersigned counsel, the defendant, Edward T. FODREY, and the defendant's counsel have entered into an agreement pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The terms of the agreement are as follows:
The defendant agrees to waive indictment and plead guilty to a two count criminal information. Count One charges the defendant with conspiring to commit mail fraud in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1349. The maximum penalties for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349 are a maximum term of twenty years of imprisonment, a fine in an amount equal to the greatest of (1) $250,000, (2) twice the gross pecuniary gain derived by any person from the offense, or (3) twice the gross pecuniary loss caused to any person other than the defendant resulting from the offense (18 U.S.C. § 3571(b) and (d)), full restitution, a special assessment, and three years of supervised release. Count Two charges the defendant with willful failure to file a tax return in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7203. The maximum penalties for a violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7203 are a maximum term of one year of imprisonment, a fine in an amount equal to the greatest of (1) $100,000, (2) twice the gross pecuniary gain derived by any person from the offense, or (3) twice the gross pecuniary loss caused to any person other than the defendant resulting from the offense (18 U.S.C. § 3571(b) and (d)), the cost of prosecution, full restitution, a special assessment, and one year of supervised release. The defendant understands that the supervised release term is in addition to any prison term the defendant may receive, and that a violation of a term of supervised release could result in the defendant being returned to prison for a term of up to two years as to Count One and the full term of supervised release as to Count Two.
The defendant will plead guilty because the defendant is in fact guilty of the charged offenses. The defendant admits the facts set forth in the Statement of Facts filed with this plea agreement and agrees that those facts establish guilt of the offenses charged beyond a reasonable doubt. The Statement of Facts, which is hereby incorporated into this plea agreement, constitutes a stipulation of facts for purposes of Section 1B1.2(a) of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines ("Sentencing Guidelines" or "U.S.S.G.").
the right to be represented by counsel - and if necessary have the court appoint counsel - at trial and at every other stage of the proceedings; and
The defendant understands that the Court has jurisdiction and authority to impose any sentence within the statutory maximum described above but that the Court will determine the defendant's actual sentence in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The defendant understands that the Court has not yet determined a sentence and that any estimate of the advisory sentencing range under the Sentencing Guidelines the defendant may have received from the defendant's counsel, the United States, or the Probation Office, is a prediction, not a promise, and is not binding on the United States, the Probation Office, or the Court. Additionally, pursuant to the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005), 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. The United States makes no promise or representation concerning what sentence the defendant will receive, and the defendant cannot withdraw a guilty plea based upon the actual sentence.
As to the violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349, the parties agree:
The applicable sentencing guidelines are U.S.S.G. §§ 2X1.1, 2B1.1 and 2B4.1;
For the purpose of calculating the specific offense characteristic enhancement as established by U.S.S.G. § 2B4.1(b)(1) and § 2B1.1(b)(1), the value of the bribe or benefit conferred was $119,500; and
There should be no increase or decrease in the offense level for defendant's role in the offense as he had neither an aggravating nor a mitigating role for purposes of U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1 and U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2, respectively.
As to the violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7203, the parties agree:
The applicable sentencing guideline is U.S.S.G. § 2T1.1;
For the purpose of calculating the base offense level as established by U.S.S.G. § 2T1.1(a) and § 2T4.1, gross income on which the tax loss should be calculated was $769,432; and
For purposes of U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1, a three-level reduction of the offense level for defendant's acceptance of responsibility is appropriate. However, should the United States obtain or receive additional evidence or information prior to sentencing that, in its sole discretion, it determines to be credible and materially in conflict with this stipulation, then the United States shall no longer be bound by it.
Before sentencing in this case, the defendant agrees to pay mandatory special assessments of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for his conviction for conspiring to commit mail fraud (Count One) and twenty five dollars ($25.00) for his conviction for willful failure to file a tax return (Count Two).
8.	Restitution for Offenses of Conviction
The defendant agrees to the entry of a Restitution Order for the full amount of the victims' losses. At this time, the Government is aware that the following victim has suffered the following loss:
Medical Facilities of America, Inc. $243,065
9.	Immunity from Further Prosecution in this District
The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and the Antitrust Division and Tax Division of the United States Department of Justice will not further criminally prosecute the defendant for the specific conduct described in the information or statement of facts. The non-prosecution terms of this paragraph do not apply to civil matters of any kind, to any violation of the securities laws, or to any crime of violence.
The defendant agrees to testify truthfully and completely at any grand juries, trials or other proceedings;
The defendant agrees to be reasonably available for debriefing and pre-trial conferences as the United States may require;
The defendant agrees to provide all documents, records, writings, or materials of any kind in the defendant's possession or under the defendant's care, custody, or control relating directly or indirectly to all areas of inquiry and investigation;
The defendant agrees that, upon request by the United States, the defendant will voluntarily submit to polygraph examinations, and that the United States will choose the polygraph examiner and specify the procedures for the examinations;
The defendant agrees that the Statement of Facts is limited to information to support the plea. The defendant will provide more detailed facts relating to this case during ensuing debriefings;
The defendant is hereby on notice that the defendant may not violate any federal, state, or local criminal law while cooperating with the Government, and that the Government will, in its discretion, consider any such violation in evaluating whether to file a motion for a downward departure or reduction of sentence; and
The United States will not use any truthful information provided pursuant to this agreement in any criminal prosecution against the defendant in the Eastern District of Virginia, except in any prosecution for a crime of violence or conspiracy to commit, or aiding and abetting, a crime of violence (as defined in Title 18 United States Code, Section 16). Pursuant to U.S.S.G. section 1B1.8, no truthful information that the defendant provides under this agreement will be used in determining the applicable guideline range, except as provided in section 1B1.8(b). Nothing in this plea agreement, however, restricts the Court's or Probation Officer's access to information and records in the possession of the United States. Furthermore, nothing in this agreement prevents the Government in any way from prosecuting the defendant should the defendant knowingly provide false, untruthful, or perjurious information or testimony, or from using information provided by the defendant in furtherance of any forfeiture action, whether criminal or civil, administrative or judicial. The United States will bring this plea agreement and the full extent of the defendant's cooperation to the attention of other prosecuting offices if requested.
14.	Payment of Taxes and Filing of Tax Returns
The defendant consents to any motion by the United States under Rule 6(e)(3)(E) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, to disclose grand jury material to the Internal Revenue Service for use in computing and collecting the defendant's taxes, interest and penalties, and to the civil and forfeiture sections of the United States Attorney's Office for use in identifying assets and collecting fines and restitution. The defendant also agrees to file true and correct tax returns for the year 2006 within sixty days and to pay all taxes, interest and penalties for the year 2006 within a reasonable time in accordance with a plan to be devised by the Probation Office. The defendant further agrees to make all books, records and documents available to the Internal Revenue Service for use in computing defendant's taxes, interest and penalties for the year 2006.
15.	Breach of the Plea Agreement and Remedies
16.	Nature of the Agreement and Modifications
This written agreement constitutes the complete plea agreement between the United States, the defendant, and the defendant's counsel and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements. The defendant and his attorney acknowledge that no threats, promises, or representations have been made, nor agreements reached, other than those set forth in writing in this plea agreement, to cause the defendant to plead guilty. Any modification of this plea agreement shall be valid only as set forth in writing in a supplemental or revised plea agreement signed by all parties. The undersigned attorneys for the United States have been authorized by the Attorney General of the United States to enter this plea agreement on behalf of the United States.
Robert J. Seidel, Jr.
