TRIAL IN ABSENTIA

1. I specifically waive any obligation the Court may have to make finding as to whether my absence was voluntary; and
2. If I am found guilty, I specifically agree that the Court may pronounce immediate sentence, waiving any right to a delay of sentencing from 6 hours to 5 days

The initial fine is comprised of the base fine, plus a $10 enhancement for each prior conviction (if any), plus state and county penalty assessments, a $35 conviction fee for every convicted count.

Also, pursuant to PC1214.1, in addition to any other penalty in infraction cases, the court may im pose a civil assessment of up to $100 against me if I fail, after notice and without good cause, to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law or if I fail to pay all or any portion of a fine ordered by the court.

A failure to pay (FTP) situation will exist if I fail to pay the total penalty and/or late charge, the court may then impose a civil assessment. You are to appear at the place shown below (address is listed at the top of this notice):
