UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. Cernell Defendant
CONSENT TO PROCEED BEFORE A UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
I have been advised by a United States Magistrate Judge of the nature of the offense against the laws of the United States with which I have been charged and the possible penalties that I face, if I am found guilty at trial or if I plead guilty.
I further state that I have been advised by the Magistrate Judge that I have the right to a trial, judgment, and sentencing before a United States District Judge of this Court. I understand that this case may proceed before a Magistrate Judge only upon my consent.
Having been advised of the above rights, I do hereby waive the same and consent to allow all proceedings to proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge.
