Entry of a Guilty Plea
In the event a Defendant decides at any time before trial to enter a plea of guilty, a United States Magistrate Judge is authorized by 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(3) and SDIL 72.1(b)(2), with the consent of the Defendant and the United States of America, to conduct the proceedings required by Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 incident to the plea. If, after conducting such proceedings, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the plea of guilty be accepted, a presentence investigation and report will be ordered pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32. The assigned U.S. District Judge will then act on the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation; and, if the plea of guilty is accepted, will adjudicate guilt, decide whether to accept or reject any associated pleas agreement, and will impose sentence.
The consent form that the parties are to submit to the Court are attached hereto. [Notice Regarding Entry of Plea of Guilty] The parties are instructed to contact Courtroom Deputy Clerk Jackie Payton (618-482-9376) to schedule change of plea proceedings.
