REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY
The defendant, by consent, has appeared before me pursuant to Rule 11,
Fed.R.Crm.P., and has entered a plea of guilty to Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the
Indictment.  After examining the defendant under oath, I have determined that the
defendant is fully competent and capable of entering an informed plea, that the guilty plea
was intelligently, knowingly and voluntarily made, and that the offenses charged is
supported by an independent basis in fact establishing each of the essential elements of
such offense.  I therefore recommend that the plea of guilty be accepted and that the
defendant be adjudged guilty and have sentence imposed accordingly.
IT IS SO RECOMMENDED.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, September 7, 2022.
