UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CRIMINAL NO. V. MAG. JUDGE NO.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO SEPARATE COUNSEL

I,

, have been advised by the court

of some of the risks confronted where defendants in the same trial are represented by the same counsel. I have discussed these risks with my counsel and understand the nature of those risks. I have been further advised by the court that I have an absolute right to retain separate counsel or, if financially qualified, to have separate counsel appointed by the court and paid for by the government. Being fully aware of the possible risks where defendants are jointly represented and of my right to separate counsel, I nevertheless choose to proceed being represented by who also represents other defendant(s) in this case.
