w w w . i r a c . n e t 2011 by Immigration Judge Pedro Miranda as Court's Exhibit 1. 1 At a master calendar hearing conducted on March 6, 2012, the Cour advised the respondent as to the nature and purpose of these proceedings, the pending allegations and charge, right to counsel, and an adjourment with a legal aid list to see if she could come back before the Cour with counsel of her choice. She indicated that she needed some additional time in order to get her funds together to pay for counsel. The Court noted that she could not get sufficient funds that these services on the list might be available at free or minimal charge. The case was adjoured until August 2, 2012 to see if she could be represented. At the August 2, 2012 hearing she indicated she could not find any attorney to represent her. The Cour then swore her in and she admitted the five allegations and conceded the charge of removal and the Court found that based on those admissions and concession removal is established by clear and convincing evidence. Afer explaining to her the right of designation of country she designated Jamaica. The Cour granted her an additional continuance from August 2, 2012 to November 8, 2012 to again see if she could come back befre the Cour with an attorney of her choice or again from the update list of legal serices that were provided to her.
