I make the following FINDINGS - that the Defendant understands: 1. 2. 3. the right to persist in a plea of "not guilty"; the right to a speedy and public trial; the right to be tried by a jury, or the ability to waive that right and have a judge try the case without a jury; 4. 5. the right to the assistance of counsel at trial; that, at trial, there would be the right to confront and cross-examine the witnesses against the Defendant; 6. that, at trial, there is the right to present a defense, and the right to have witnesses subpoenaed to testify on the Defendant's behalf; 7. that, at trial, the Defendant would have the right against compelled self-incrimination; 8. 9. the nature of the charge filed in this case; the maximum possible sentence that could be imposed (including imprisonment, fine, term of supervised release, and mandatory special assessment), the effect of a supervised release term, and that the sentencing guidelines are only advisory so that the Court may sentence Defendant up to the statutory maximum; 10. the terms of the plea agreement;
I further find that: 11. that Defendant's plea of guilty is made knowingly and voluntarily; 12. 13. the Defendant is competent to enter a plea; and there is a factual basis for Defendant's plea.
