The North Carolina Waiver of Initial Appearance On A Superseding Indictment is a form used by criminal defendants who are charged with a criminal offense in North Carolina. This form allows the defendant to waive his or her right to appear in court for the initial hearing on the new charges, and allows the defendant to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty to the new charges at a later date. This form is typically used by defendants who have been charged with additional or more serious offenses after an initial appearance in court.
