United States of America v. TRICIA D. DYE Defendant
CONSENT TO PROCEED BEFORE A MAGISTRATE JUDGE IN A MISDEMEANOR CASE
A United States magistrate judge has explained to me the nature of the charges against me and the maximum penalty that may be imposed on each charge if I am found guilty. The magistrate judge has also informed me of my right to a lawyer, my right to a jury trial, and my right to be tried, judged, and sentenced before either a United States district judge or a United States magistrate judge.
I consent to being tried before a United States magistrate judge and I waive my rights to trial, judgment, and sentencing by a United States district judge.
