UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. THYANNA FAITH LITTLESUN, Defendant.

TIMOTHY J. CAVAN United States Magistrate Judge

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION OF U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE

The Defendant, by consent, appeared before me under Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 and entered a plea of guilty to all counts of the Indictment (Doc. 1), which charges the crimes of involuntary manslaughter (Counts I and II), in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1112(a) and 1153(a); and assault resulting in serious bodily injury (Count III), in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 113(a)(6) and 1153(a).

After examining the Defendant under oath, the Court determined:

1. That the Defendant is fully competent and capable of entering an informed and voluntary plea to the criminal offenses charged against her;

2. That the Defendant is aware of the nature of the charges against her and the consequences of pleading guilty to the charges;

3. That the Defendant fully understands her pertinent constitutional rights and the extent to which she is waiving those rights by pleading guilty to the criminal offenses charged against her; and

4. That her pleas of guilty to the criminal offenses charged against her are knowingly and voluntarily entered, and are supported by independent factual grounds sufficient to prove each of the essential elements of the offenses charged.

Defendant entered the guilty pleas without a written plea agreement, and counsel represented that no more favorable plea agreement offers were made.

Therefore, I recommend that the Defendant be adjudged guilty of the charges in Counts I, II, and III of the Indictment and that sentence be imposed.

Objections to these Findings and Recommendation are waived unless filed and served within fourteen (14) days after the filing of the Findings and Recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed. R. Crim. P 59(b)(2).

DATED this 6th day of July, 2017.
