DEPARTURE
The sentence departs below the guideline range for the following
reasons:
Pursuant to a Plea Agreement
Based on 5K1.1 motion of the government based on the defendant's substantial assistance.
The court concludes that this statement of reasons for imposing a sentence in
a criminal case is presumptively a matter of public interest and scrutiny. See S. Rep. No. 225, 98th
Cong., 1st Sess. 1983, 1984 U.S.C.C.A.N. 3182, 3263 (1983) ("The statement of reasons…informs defendant
and the public of the reasons for the sentence. It provides information to criminal justice
researchers.") No party has made a sufficient showing of "good cause," Fed R. Crim. P. 32(i)(4)(C), why
it should not be a matter of public record. Therefore, to facilitate systematic documentation of any
decision concerning departure, in compliance with 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(c)(2), this statement of reasons
shall be entered and filed by the clerk as part of the judgment.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
1. BARBARA ANN HAYES,
Defendant.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW ON THE ENTRY OF A PLEA OF GUILTY
Blackburn, J.
On September 3, 2004, I conducted a change of plea hearing during which 1)
the defendant, her counsel, counsel for the government, and I formally reviewed and considered the plea
agreement of the parties as stated in Court's Exhibits 1, and 2, ("plea agreement"); 2) I rearraigned the
defendant under Fed.R.Cr.P.10; and 3) 1 formally advised the defendant and conducted providency
proceedings under Fed.R.Cr.P.11.
Based upon my exchange and colloquy with the defendant in open court on the
record; based upon the representations, remarks, and statements of counsel for the government and counsel
for the defendant; based upon my review of the file and my review of the written plea agreement as stated
in Court's Exhibits 1, and 2, I enter the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:
That the defendant appeared to be alert and not under the influence of or impaired by drugs,
narcotics, marihuana, alcohol, medication, or intoxicants;
That the defendant was competent and fully understood the nature, circumstances, and essential
elements of the offense to which the plea of guilty was entered;
That the defendant understood the direct and collateral consequences that he may suffer or experience
as a result of his participation in the plea agreement, his plea of guilty, and the resultant felony
conviction and sentence;
That the defendant's plea of guilty was made and entered voluntarily, knowingly, intelligently and
intentionally, and was not the result of mistake; misunderstanding, fear, force, threats, coercion, or
undue influence by anyone;
That the defendant's plea of guilty was not the result of any promise or inducement made by anyone,
including legal counsel, except as previously indicated on the record and included in the written plea
agreement;
That the defendant understood each of her legal rights, including her right to a trial by jury and
her right to be represented throughout this criminal case by an attorney even if indigent; and that the
defendant freely, voluntarily, knowingly, intelligently, and intentionally waived his rights and
privileges, including the right to trial by jury, but excepting her right to be represented throughout
this criminal case by an attorney even if indigent and her right to appeal any sentence I impose;
That the defendant understood that in imposing sentence, I must apply the relevant provisions of the
United States Sentencing Guidelines as codified and construed;
That the defendant understood that the court will not be bound by any representations by anyone
concerning the penalty to be imposed, except as specified in the plea agreement or on the record;
That a factual basis existed to support and sustain the plea agreement and the defendant's plea of
guilty;
That the defendant has been represented at the change of plea hearing and throughout this case by
effective and competent counsel with whom the defendant had no objection, criticism, or complaint
whatsoever;
That the defendant read, understood, and accepted each and every term and provision within her plea
agreement, which he reviewed carefully and thoroughly with his attorney;
That the plea agreement conformed in form and substance to the requirements of law; and
That on the record considered as a whole, I conclude that I may properly accept the defendant's plea
of guilty, which was entered in the context of her plea agreement; and defer formal approval of the plea
agreement as stated in Court's Exhibits 1, and 2, pending opportunity to consider the presentence
report.
Dated this 3rd day of September, 2004, at Denver, Colorado.
