UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
OFFICE OF THE CLERK
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA §
VS § CRIMINAL NO. __________________
____________________________ §
WAIVER OF SPEEDY TRIAL LIMITS
As the defendant in the above captioned cause, I desire to waive my right to be tried
within the time limits set forth by the Plan for the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Texas, for achieving prompt disposition of criminal cases, dated August 5, 1975,
which was promulgated pursuant to Rule 50(b), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the
Speedy Trial Act of 1974, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3165(c).
In filing this waiver, I am fully aware that criminal matters are to be given preference to
the Court’s Docket and the above plan requires that my trial commence within 90 days following
the beginning of my continuous federal custody, or within 60 days of my plea of not guilty, if I
am not in federal custody. Further, I am fully aware that failure of the Court to comply with the
time limits set forth by the above plan without my consent may justify dismissal of this action for
unnecessary delay. Lastly, I am fully aware that this Court is not designating a definite time for
the trial of my case and is only representing that it is to be tried at the earliest practicable date
consistent with other docket requirements.
I have consulted with my attorney regarding the waiver of my right to be tried within the
trial limits set forth by the above plan and he/she agrees with my decision.
