IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF WYOMING
ORDER TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL FINES IN COLLATERAL FINE
SCHEDULE FOR THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION
It appearing to the Court that it is necessary to include additional collateral
forfeiture/appearance bond fee schedules for the Veteran's Administration, and being fully
advised in the premises, it is
ORDERED that the following list comprises those statutes and regulations that shall be
enforced by the Veteran's Administration. Included herein is the applicable collateral
forfeiture/appearance bond fee schedule for each offense listed, which shall be understood that if
not governed by this schedule, the decision whether to (1) take an accused violator into custody;
(2) allow him/her to forfeit collateral; or (3) to merely issue a warning shall be within the sound
discretion of the law enforcement personnel. In addition, should a violator appear before a
United States Magistrate Judge, said Magistrate Judge may impose a fine or imprisonment or
both, up to the statutory maximum without regard to this schedule.
Three types of offenses are listed throughout this schedule and the procedures which
follow shall govern each:
(1) Mandatory Appearance Where Bail is Required:
Some of the offenses contained herein have been deemed by the United States District
Court to require that an accused violator be detained and brought before an available United
States Magistrate Judge. In the event a Magistrate Judge is not immediately available, and in the
interest of preventing undue detention, an amount of bail has been established, which the accused
violator may tender to the person authorized to accept bail for the Magistrate Judge. This bail is
intended to insure the appearance of the violator at the time and place noted on the violation
notice and is not forfeitable. If the violator is unable to make the required bail, he/she shall be
placed in proper custody, and he/she shall remain in such custody until he/she makes bailor is
released by the Magistrate Judge.
Throughout the schedule these offenses are denoted by a required appearance and bail
amount has been set. In each case where so indicated, the above procedure shall be followed.
(2) Mandatory Appearance Where No Bail Is Required:
In all cases where a mandatory appearance is required but no bail amount has been set,
the violator may be allowed to go free, but he/she must be advised to appear on the date indicated
on the violation notice, and under no circumstances may he/she forfeit collateral.
(3) Offenses Where Collateral May Be Forfeited:
In those instances where a collateral amount has been set and no mandatory appearance is
required, the accused may be allowed to plead guilty without an appearance before the
Magistrate Judge and forfeit the collateral amount applicable to the offense charged. The law
enforcement officer under any circumstances may require the violator to deposit the collateral in
the United States Mail in the presence of said officer.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in the event an offense occurs to which no reference
has been made in this Schedule, the law enforcement agency involved shall immediately contact
the United States Attorney's Office in Cheyenne, Wyoming, at (307) 772-2124 or the United
States Attorney's Office in Casper, Wyoming, at (307) 261-5434, for advice and consultation.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Local Rule 58.4, entitled "Petty Offense Forfeiture
of Collateral in Lieu of Appearance," of the United States District Court for the District of
Wyoming shall be in effe~fully set forth herein.
