APPLICATION TO WAIVE
ATTORNEY AND PROCEED (PRO SE)

DEFENDANT

In support of my application to waive attorney I state:


1.

I know I have a right to be represented by an attorney in this case


and that if I cannot afford to hire an attorney, the Court would appoint
counsel for me, without any initial costs on my part. I further realize
that I would ultimately have to reimburse the State for those expenses.
2.
I know that an attorney would represent my interest in all court
proceedings and would be available to answer questions for me. I a m
aware that there may be defenses to the charges against me that I as a
non-lawyer may not be aware of. I know a lawyer would give me the
opportunity to obtain an independent opinion on how to proceed and
defend the case against me.
3.
I know the County Attorney and his staff do not represent me but
rather are responsible for prosecuting me. I know that I cannot rely
upon the County Attorney for legal advice.
4.
Having considered my right to counsel, together with the risk and
disadvantages of proceeding without an attorney, I want to represent
myself and I want to waive my right to an attorney.

COUNT I

co
I, the undersigned Defendant, have carefully read and fully understand the following:
A. I am charged with ASSAULT ON PERSONS ENGAGED IN CERTAIN
OCCUPATIONS, in violation of Iowa Code Sections 708.1 and 708.3A(4), a Serious
Misdemeanor; and I hereby request that my plea of guilty to the charge be entered of record.
B. The maximum punishment for a Serious Misdemeanor is imprisonment of not more than one
year in jail, and a fine of not more than $1,875.00 plus statutory surcharges, plus all court
costs and all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance. There is a minimum fine of $315.00,
plus a 35% surcharge in the amount of $110.25, which is immediately due on the date of
sentencing unless a payment plan is approved by the Court within thirty days of the Judgment
entry. In addition, if the charge is a violation oflowa Code Chapters, 124, 155A, 453B, 713,
714, 715A, 716, or Iowa Code Sections, 719.8, 725.1, 725.2 or 725.3, there is an additional
Law Enforcement Initiative surcharge of $125. I acknowledge that, the Court may order me
to perform community service work if the Court is of the opinion that community service
work will deter and discourage others from similar criminal activity. (The rate at which
community service shall be calculated against my fine shall be the federal minimum wage.) In
addition, I may be required to pay correctional fees for incarceration and enrollment fees for
probation. I am aware that sentencing options may include deferral of Judgment and
Sentence, the grant of probation and the suspension of the sentence imposed.
C. I understand that, a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may affect my
status under federal immigration laws.
D. If I plead not guilty, I would be entitled to the following rights. I give up these rights by
pleading guilty:
(1) . The right to a speedy and public trial by a jury of twelve people.
(2) . The right to have an attorney represent me at trial and, if the Court found I was unable to
afford an attorney, the Court would, at public expense, appoint an attomey to represent me.
(3) . At trial, I would be presumed innocent until such time, if ever, the State established my
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
(4) . At trial, a jury verdict of guilty would have to be unanimous.
(5) . At trial, I would have the privilege against self-incrimination, that is, I cannot be forced to
testify, and if I choose not to testify, the State may not comment on the fact of my failure to
testify and, at my request, I would be entitled to a jury instruction stating that the jury could
not infer guilt from my failure to testify.

(6) . At trial, the State would have to confront me with witnesses upon whose testimony it
relied to obtain conviction, and I would have the right to cross examine those witnesses.
(7) . At trial, I would be entitled to present witnesses to testify on my behalf and to
compulsory process to secure those witnesses.
E. By pleading guilty, there will not be a trial of any kind. By pleading guilty, I waive my right to
trial, and will be treated as i f l had been tried and found guilty by a jury.
F. The Court, in determining whether there is a factual basis for this plea of guilty, may make
such a determination by examining the Minutes of Testimony attached to the Trial
Information, by reviewing the investigative reports of law enforcement agents who have
investigated the offense, or by asking me or counsel to recite and summarize the material facts
that would be offered at trial.
The Court has the discretion to accept or reject any plea agreement made between the State
and myself. The plea agreement is: I will plead guilty to Count I, Assault on Persons
Engaged in Certain Occupations. The recommended sentence is thirty days in the Sac County
Jail, which will be suspended: with credit for time served. I will be placed on informal
probation to the Sac County Probation Officer for a period of one (1) year from the Judgment
entry date. I will pay a fine in the amount of $315.00. plus the 35% surcharge in the amount
of $110.25, and court costs; to be paid as approved in the Sac County Standard Probation
Agreement. The plea agreement includes the recommendation, by the County Attorney, for
dismissal of the companion complaint SMCRO12751, with court costs assessed to the
defendant.
This plea agreement includes that I will be responsible to pay court costs, payment of all
costs and fees incurred for legal assistance, victim restitution, correction (jail) fee for any jail
time and all surcharges and mandatory punishments (see paragraph B) applicable to my case.
I now state to the Court that I am, in fact GUILTY and that no threats or promises have been
made to induce me to enter my plea of guilty. I have been informed that the elements of the
crime are: Assault is anv act which is intended to cause pain or injury to, or which is
intended to result in physical contact which will be insulting or offensive to another,
with the ability to execute such an act, and the act was committed upon a uniformed
peace officer, while knowing the person was a peace officer.
I understand the nature of the charge against me.
G. This offense was committed by me in Sac County Iowa by my doing the following: I did on
or about the 6 dav of February 2015 at 100 NW State St in Sac Citv lowa unlawfully
and willfully assault Joel Burns, a uniformed peace officer who is employed bv the
Sac Countv Sheriffs Department, while knowing that Joel Burns was a peace officer,
by striking Deputy Burns in the face.
I hereby state that I submit this written plea of guilty with full knowledge and waiver of my rights
and I do so freely and voluntarily. No threats have been made against me to obtain this guilty
plea. No promises of leniency or favorable treatment have been made, except for any plea bargain
disclosed to the Court at the time of this guilty plea.
th

H. If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I realize:


(1). The Court will set a sentencing date not less than fifteen days after the date of its
acceptance ofthis guilty plea unless I waive this right. In order to contest this plea of guilty, I
2

must file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment at least five days prior to sentencing. The right to
file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court impose a sentence
today.
(2). If the Court imposes a sentence today, I will never be able to challenge this plea of guilty,
and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.

I ask the Court to accept this plea of guilty. I waive the preceding rights and my right to have
the Court address me personally.
WAIVER OF MOTION IN ARREST OF JUDGMENT
If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I wish to be sentenced now. I understand that:
1. In order to contest this plea of guilty, I must file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment no later
than 45 days after a plea of guilty and no later than 5 days prior to pronouncement of
judgment, and that the Court will set a sentencing date not less thanfifteendays after the
date of its acceptance of this guilty plea unless I waive this right, and the right to file a
Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court impose a sentence now.
2. By having the Court impose my sentence now, I will never be able to challenge this plea of
guilty and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.
I hereby request the Court sentence me now and I waive any time to which I may be entitled
for sentencing at a later date.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE PRESENT
I have been fully advised that I have a constitutional right to be present at my sentencing
and present evidence in my own behalf. I understand that it is my choice to be present or not, and
that no one can exclude mefromsentencing.
With the above in mind, and further understanding that my decision whether to be present
or not is my own decision, I hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to be present at my
sentencing.
