Plaintiff, vs. Application to Waive Attorney and Proceed without Attorney (pro se) Defendant.

Co sr
0 1

In support of my application to waive attorney I state: 1. I know l have arightto 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 cost 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 am aware that there may be defenses to the charges against me that I as a nonlawyer may not be aware of. | 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. .1 know that I cannot rely upon the County Attorney for legal advice. 4. Having considered myrightto counsel, together with the risk and disadvantages of proceeding without an attorney, I want to represent myself and I want to waive myrightto an attorney.

STATE OF IOWA, vs. BENJAMIN DONALD STOUT, DOB: 03/20/1982 Defendant. COUNT I I, the undersigned Defendant, have carefully read and fully understand the following: I am charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated, First Offense, in violation oflowa Code Section 321 J.2, a Serious Misdemeanor, and I hereby request that my plea of guilty to the charge be entered of record. The maximum punishment for a Serious Misdemeanor is imprisonment of not more than one year in jail and a mandatory fine of not more than $1,250.00, plus statutory surcharges, plus court costs and all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance which is immediately due on the date of sentencing. I realize that, if there was no personal or property injury, and I present to the Court a temporary restricted license, the Court may waive up to $625 ofthe fine and the related statutory surcharge. 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 community service must be done for a governmental or nonprofit agency. (The rate at which community service shall be calculated against myfineshall 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. There is a minimum penalty of imprisonment in jail for 48 hours, which must be imposed unless I am eligible for a deferred judgment, or deferred sentence. The Court must order me to attend a course for drinking drivers. The Court must order me to undergo a substance abuse evaluation and to follow the recommendations. The Court may order me to participate in a reality education substance abuse prevention program. The Court may order restitution to any victim of my offense. In addition, the Court may order restitution up to $500 each to any public agency (fire-fighting, law enforcement, ambulance, medical or any other emergency services), which responded as a result of my violation. Unless the Department of Transportation has already revoked my license or driving privileges, I understand my license or driving privileges will be revoked a minimum of 180 days.

OWI - 1st OFFENSE GUILTY PLEA

I understand that there can be no deferral of judgment or sentence or suspension of any mandatory minimum sentence of incarceration and no suspension of any other part of my sentence not involving incarceration if: I tested over . 15%; or I refused an implied consent test; or I have been convicted of OWI or received a deferred judgment or sentence for OWI in Iowa or any other state; or If another person was injured by this OWI offense. I understand that there can be no reduction of my fine and the related statutory surcharge unless: The Court finds that there has been no personal injury as a result of my actions, and The Court finds that there has been no property damage as a result of my actions, and I present a temporary restricted license within the time ordered by the Court. I understand I must complete a substance abuse evaluation at my own expense before I can be sentenced. I will provide the evaluation to the Court before I am sentenced. A. I understand that a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may affect my status under federal immigration laws. B. 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 attorney 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. C. 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. D. 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: Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated 1 Offense. Recommended Jail time is 30 days, all of which will be suspended except for two (2) days, with credit for any time already served. Defendant mav substitute a 48-hour Weekend Alcohol Program for 48 hours jail time. I f l choose not to attend the 48 hour Weekend Alcohol Program, then I will have to complete the 12 hour Driving Course. I will be placed on probation to the Sac County Probation Officer for a period of one year from the Judgment entry date. I will pay a fine of $1.250.00, plus a 35% surcharge in the amount of $437.50, and a $10.00 DARE surcharge, and court costs; to be paid as Ordered by the Court. If I provide proof of a temporary driving permit the fine will be reduced to $625.00. I will follow the recommendation of the Substance Abuse Evaluation, which was no treatment. 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.
st

E. 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: I operated a motor vehicle (1) while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or other drug or a combination of such substances; or (2) while having an alcohol concentration of .08 or more; or (3) while any amount of a controlled substance is present in my person as measured in my blood or urine. I understand the nature of the charge against me. This offense was committed by me in Sac County Iowa by my doing the following: I did on or about the 23 day of June 2013, unlawfully operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and was intoxicated at the time when I was driving and did have a blood alcohol concentration of .154 BAC.
rd

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 agreement disclosed to the Court at the time of this guilty plea. F. 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 of this guilty plea unless I waive this right. In order to contest this plea of guilty, I 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 than fifteen days 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 me from sentencing. 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.
