Misdemeanors and Other Petty Offenses
(a) Collateral. In lieu of appearance, a defendant may post collateral in amounts
specified by court order if:

authorized the posting of collateral.
(b) Petty Offenses. For purposes of this rule, “petty offenses” are those offenses
in 18 U.S.C. §19. In determining a “petty offense,” it is irrelevant whether

applicable state statutes by virtue of the Assimilative Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C.
§13.
(c) Petty Offense List. The Clerk and each United States Magistrate Judge
will maintain a current list of the petty offenses and the collateral
applicable. The list referenced herein may be obtained from the Clerk’s office
