       Pursuant to General Order 99-49, Judge Oliver referred this matter to me for the purpose of
receiving, after consent, Defendant Elizabeth Lorraine Robinson’s (“Defendant”) guilty plea to
Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, and 33 of the Superseding
Indictment. The following, along with the transcript or other record of the proceedings, constitutes
my Report and Recommendation concerning Defendant’s guilty plea:

              1.      Defendant, accompanied by counsel, entered a plea of guilty under
                      oath on February 28, 2025;
              2.      I examined Defendant as to her competency to participate in a plea
                      proceeding and found her to be competent;

              3.      Defendant stated she was satisfied with the advice, competence, and
                      efforts of his lawyer;
              4.      Defendant acknowledged understanding the nature of the charges
                      contained in the Superseding Indictment, the maximum possible
                      sentence, and all the terms of the plea agreement;
              5.      Defendant was advised of the following rights: to tender a plea of not
                      guilty or stand upon such a plea previously entered; to trial; to
                      representation by counsel, including appointed counsel, at all stages of
                      the proceedings; to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses; to
                      present witnesses and to compel their presence; to compel production
                      of exhibits or documents for trial on his behalf; and to waive the
                      privilege against self-incrimination. Defendant acknowledged she
                      understood that if a plea of guilty was accepted, all of these rights
                      would be waived;
              6.      Defendant was advised that the government would have the right, in a
                      prosecution for perjury, to use any statement she makes under oath;
              7.      The parties provided me with sufficient information about the charged
                      offenses and Defendant’s conduct to establish a factual basis for the
                      plea;

       Case: 5:23-cr-00350-SO Doc #: 67 Filed: 02/28/25 2 of 2. PageID #: 253




                8.      I questioned the Defendant under oath and find that the Defendant’s
                        plea was offered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily.

       In light of the foregoing and the record submitted herewith, I find that all requirements
imposed by the United States Constitution and Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 have been satisfied. Accordingly, I
recommended that the Court accept Defendant’s guilty plea and enter a plea of guilty.


                                                          s/Jennifer Dowdell Armstrong
                                                         Jennifer Dowdell Armstrong

 Date: February 28, 2025
