(a) Under this division, in any case in which the defendant has entered a plea of guilty, no contest, or has been found guilty, the court has the power, with the written consent of the defendant and the city attorney, to continue the case for a period of time agreed upon by the defendant and city attorney for the purpose of entering judgment and sentence. During such time, the court may place the defendant under the supervision of the probation department.

(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the conditions imposed shall be the same in all respects to conditions permitted as part of probation. Upon a full compliance with such conditions by the defendant, the plea of guilty, no contest, or determination of guilt previously entered shall be withdrawn, and the action against the defendant dismissed. Such stipulation shall specifically provide that, upon a breach by the defendant of any condition regulating the conduct of the defendant, the court shall enter judgment and impose sentence. Whether a breach of condition has occurred shall be determined by the court without a jury, as in cases of revocation of probation.

(c) When a defendant gives consent that judgment and sentence shall be deferred, he or she thereby waives all rights to a speedy trial. (Code 1979, § 25-54; Ord. No. 2005-12, § 99, 4-11-2005; Ord. No. 95-52, exhibit A (§ 25-54), 9-11-1995)
