Application For Change Of Plea Hearing {CR-316}

CR-316 - APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF PLEA HEARING. This form is used to request a change of plea hearing in a criminal case filed in either the District or Superior Court of the State of Alaska. A change of plea hearing is a proceeding where the defendant chooses to change their plea—typically from not guilty to guilty or no contest—based on a negotiated agreement with the prosecution. The form collects details about the case, including the case number, the defendant’s custody status, and whether a crime victim is involved. It allows the applicant—either the defendant or their attorney—to request a specific hearing date and courtroom, indicate whether sentencing should occur at the same time as the plea change, and clarify whether a presentence report is waived or required. The form also includes space to outline terms of the plea agreement, identify any related case numbers the plea will resolve, and note whether the plea reduces felony charges to misdemeanors. It requires certification that the opposing party, usually the prosecutor, has been notified of the request, and it must be signed and submitted to the court. www.FormsWorkflow.com
