ADVICE OF PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS

TO THE DEFENDANT:

YOU ARE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS:

Violating any of the foregoing conditions of release may result in the immediate issuance of a warrant for your

arrest, a revocation of your release, an order of detention, a forfeiture of any bond, and a prosecution for contempt of court

and could result in imprisonment, a fine, or both.

While on release, if you commit a federal felony offense the punishment is an additional prison term of not more

than ten years and for a federal misdemeanor offense the punishment is an additional prison term of not more than one

year. This sentence will be consecutive (i.e., in addition) to any other sentence you receive.

It is a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison, and a $250,000 fine, or both, to: obstruct a criminal

investigation; tamper with a witness, victim, or informant; retaliate or attempt to retaliate against a witness, victim, or

informant; or intimidate or attempt to intimidate a witness, victim, juror, informant, or officer of the court. The penalties

for tampering, retaliation, or intimidation are significantly more serious if they involve a killing or attempted killing.

If, after release, you knowingly fail to appear as the conditions of release require, or to surrender to serve a

sentence, you may be prosecuted for failing to appear or surrender and additional punishment may be imposed. If you are

convicted of:

(1) an offense punishable by death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for a term of fifteen years or more – you

will be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both;

(2) an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of five years or more, but less than fifteen years – you will

be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both;

(3) any other felony – you will be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both;

(4) a misdemeanor – you will be fined not more than $100,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

A term of imprisonment imposed for failure to appear or surrender will be consecutive to any other sentence you receive. 

In addition, a failure to appear or surrender may result in the forfeiture of any bond posted.

Acknowledgment of the Defendant 

I acknowledge that I am the defendant in this case and that I am aware of the conditions of release. I promise to

obey all conditions of release, to appear as directed, and surrender to serve any sentence imposed. I am aware of the
