“THE COURT: [The] record will reflect that the waiver of jury trial has been filed. Let me ask you, Mr. Walunga, ... do you realize that, when you sign this, ... you [will] not have a jury — that I [will] decide the case? MR. WALUNGA: Yes. THE COURT: Is that what you want? MR. WALUNGA: Well, at this time, I suppose, I do not know. THE COURT: Well, do you understand what you are doing when you sign the waiver of jury trial? MR. WALUNGA: Yeah. THE COURT: You know [that] you— [your attorney has] told you [that] you have a right to a jury trial? MR. WALUNGA: Yes, I realize that. THE COURT: Okay. All right. [The waiver] will be filed.”
