LMCLR IR 3.3
                           DEFERRED FINDINGS ON INFRACTIONS


    Upon entry of a deferred finding for an infraction, the court will monitor the
infraction for a period of six months from the date of entry to determine
compliance with the conditions set by the court. If a defendant successfully
complies with the conditions after the six month period, the charge(s) will be
dismissed as agreed.

    If a defendant fails to pay the agreed costs within the time limit allowed by
the court, fails to establish an account with Signal Credit, or fails to
complete the payment plan within the time allowed, a finding of committed will
be entered for the charge(s), and collection will proceed.

    If a defendant obtains a new moving violation during the first six months of
jurisdiction, the court shall extend jurisdiction over the deferral to one year
total. During the additional time period, the court shall monitor the new
moving violation(s) and determine whether or not a committed finding has been
entered. If a committed finding is entered for the new moving violation(s), per
RCW 46.63.070(5) the deferral will be revoked and the charge(s) found
committed.  If the new moving violation(s) is dismissed or found not committed,
then the deferral will be monitored by the court until the end of the jurisdiction,
which shall be no less than six months from the date of entry of the deferral.

    The court will not consider a request for deferred findings under RCW 46.63.070(5)
for the following violations:

RCW 46.61.440   Speeding in a School Zone
RCW 46.61.527   Speeding in a Construction Zone,
RCW 46.61.212   Emergency Zone Violations, or
RCW 46.61.370   Passing Stopped School Bus.

Defendants with a CDL (Commercial Driver's License) or who operated a commercial vehicle
at the time of the violation are not eligible to enter into a Deferred Finding.
