REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCERNING PLEA OF GUILTY

PRATEEK DESAI, 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 the 3-
Count Superseding Information, filed on January 20, 2026. After cautioning and examining Defendant
Prateek Desai, 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 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 Prateek Desai, be adjudged guilty of Receipt of Improperly
Obtained Property, in violation of 18 USC § 2113(c), and have sentence imposed accordingly. After
being found guilty of the offense by the district judge.
