Waiver of preliminary hearings

If a defendant is represented by counsel, the defendant may file a written waiver of the personal right of a preliminary hearing, in compliance with Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-4206 , or may waive the right on the record in the presence of a judge and the defendant’s attorney. Any written waiver should include the date, time, and location of defendant’s next court hearing. If a defendant is not represented by counsel, the personal right of a preliminary hearing may be waived by the defendant on the record only in the presence of a judge and upon waiver of the right to an attorney.
