re: Case Number <ticket #>; Not Guilty Plea; Request For A Trial By Written Declaration

To the Clerk of the Court:

Per Vehicle Code section §40519(b), I am pleading not guilty in the above referenced case and per §40902(a) and Rule of Court 4.210(b)(2), I am hereby requesting a trial by written declaration.

As a reminder, Rule 4.210(b)(2) states:

"If the clerk receives the defendant's written request for a trial by written declaration by the appearance date indicated on the Notice to Appear, the clerk must, within 15 calendar days after receiving the defendant's written request, extend the appearance date 25 calendar days and must give or mail notice to the defendant of the extended due date on the Request for Trial by Written Declaration (form TR-205) with a copy of the Instructions to Defendant (form TR-200) and any other required forms."

Per said rule, I expect to receive from you my appearance date along with forms TR-200 and TR-205.  You may mail them to my address found above.

Please also include a statement as to the amount of bail so that, per Vehicle Code §40902(b) and Rule of Court 4.210(b)(4), I can enclose it with my TR-205.

Should you require anything further please don’t hesitate to contact me at <phone number>.

 Sincerely,
