I, Jose Francisco Castaneda, have been charged with violating my conditions of supervised release. A United States Magistrate Judge conducted a hearing, at which I was present and represented by counsel, to determine whether my supervised release should be modified, revoked or terminated. The Magistrate Judge informed me of the following:

(3) Her recommendation concerning the additional sentence that should be imposed;
(4) Her reasons for recommending that sentence;
(5) Her intent to issue written findings and recommendation consistent with her pronouncements in open court;
(6) My right to object and obtain the district judge's review of her findings and recommendation;
and
(7) My right to appear before the district judge with counsel and to speak on my behalf before sentence is imposed.
[] I waive my right to receive and review the Magistrate Judge's written findings and recommendation consistent with her pronouncements in open court before executing this consent and waiver.
[] I have now received and reviewed a copy of the Magistrate Judge's written findings and recommendation.
[] After consulting with counsel, I HEREBY:
(1) Waive my right to object to the findings and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge;
(2) Consent to revocation of my supervised release;
(3) Consent to imposition of the sentence recommended by the Magistrate Judge; and
(4) Waive my right to be present and speak, and my right to have counsel present and speak, before the District Judge imposes the recommended sentence.
