Transportation Security, Department of Homeland Security had consented to the defendant's reentry. 3. The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently admits the following facts: (a) he is not a citizen of the United States; (b) on or about June 19, 2003, and on or about September 24, 2003, he was deported from the United States; (c) he was found in the United States on or about April 12, 2005; and (d) neither the Attorney General nor the Undersecretary for Border and Transportation Security, Department of Homeland Security had consented to his reentry into the United States. 4. The parties agree that, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(a), the defendant's base

offense level is 8. The parties further agree that the defendant falls within Criminal History Category I. With two points off for acceptance of responsibility, the defendant's offense level would be 6 and his sentencing range would be 0-6 months imprisonment. The defendant understands that at sentencing the District Court must consider the United States Sentencing Guidelines and take them into account in exercising its discretion to determine the appropriate sentence and must also consider the other factors bearing on an appropriate sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The defendant further understands that the Government will recommend that the Court impose a sentence consistent with the sentencing range set forth by the sentencing guidelines. Finally, the defendant understands that the Court may reject the sentencing guideline calculation contained in this paragraph and that such rejection will not provide a basis for the defendant to attempt to withdraw his guilty plea.

The defendant agrees to pay the $100 special assessment at the time of sentencing.

Should he fail to do so, the defendant agrees to voluntarily enter the United States Bureau of Prisons' administered program known as the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program through which the Bureau of Prisons will collect a portion of the defendant's prison salary and apply it on the defendant's behalf to the payment of the outstanding debt ordered. 6. Provided that the United States Attorney does not subsequently learn of conduct

by the defendant inconsistent with acceptance of responsibility, the United States agrees to a two-level reduction under USSG §3E1.1(a) based on the defendant's conduct to date. 7. The parties reserve the right to defend the probation officer's findings at the

sentencing hearing and to defend the sentencing court's rulings at any subsequent proceedings, including any appeal. The parties realize that the Court is not bound by any stipulations reached by the parties. The defendant understands and agrees that if the Court decides not to follow any stipulation or recommendation in this Memorandum of Plea Agreement, or if the defendant does not receive the benefits he expects from any such stipulation or recommendation, the defendant may not withdraw his guilty plea. 8. The parties understand that the defendant will request that he be sentenced

immediately following entry and acceptance of his guilty plea. The United States does not object to an immediate sentencing. The defendant understands and agrees that the decision whether to sentence him immediately following entry and acceptance of the guilty plea is within the exclusive discretion of the Court, and the Court's decision not to sentence him immediately will not provide a basis for him to attempt to withdraw his guilty plea.
