               (e)  Plea Agreement Procedure.
               (1)  Disclosure of Sentencing Agreement. If the parties
reach a sentencing agreement, the court shall require disclosure of the agreement in open court at the
time the plea is offered. Once the agreement has been disclosed, the court may accept or reject the
agreement, or may defer that decision until receipt of a presentence report.  If the court accepts the
agreement, the court may impose sentence without a presentence investigation.
