ADVISEMENTS, RULES AND CONSEQUENCES

1. ______ I understand that the Diversion Program will last no longer than 24 months, and that I am giving up my right to a speedy trial in order to participate in the Diversion Program. I understand that I am pleading “not guilty” to the charge(s) against me in this case.
2. ______ I understand that I am responsible for making full restitution payments to any victim(s) in this case, as ordered by the Court. However, my financial inability to pay restitution will not bar me from participation, nor will it prevent me from successfully completing the Diversion Program.
3. ______ I understand that I must comply with any court-ordered protective order, stay-away order, or order prohibiting firearm possession.
4. ______ I understand that if I successfully complete the terms of the Diversion Program, this case will be dismissed. However, I am still obligated to disclose this arrest in response to a direct question contained in a questionnaire or application for a position as a peace officer, as defined in CA Penal code 830.
5. ______ I understand that the court may, after notice to me, schedule a hearing to determine if I am complying with the terms of the Diversion Program. If the Court finds that I am not complying, the Court may terminate my participation in the Diversion Program and reinstate criminal proceedings.
