Cruz waiver

"We do not mean to imply by this holding that a defendant fully advised of his or her rights under section 1192.5 may not expressly waive those rights, such that if the defendant willfully fails to appear for sentencing the trial court may withdraw its approval of the defendant's plea and impose a sentence in excess of the bargained-for term. Any such waiver, of course, would have to be obtained at the time of the trial court's initial acceptance of the plea, and it must be knowing and intelligent." (People v. Cruz (1988) 44 Cal.3d 1247, 1254, fn. 5 [246 Cal.Rptr. 1, 752 P.2d 439].)

"A "Cruz waiver" gives a trial court the power to “withdraw its approval of the defendant's plea and impose a sentence in excess of the bargained-for term,” if the defendant willfully fails to appear for sentencing.
