     e.  Federal Magistrate System. The Federal Magistrate Systerm is

authorized for use on the Naval Training Center. This system is designed

for traffic and minor criminal offenses committed on board the Center

by non‑military personnel. The regulations governing these violations

may be found in the Procedures Manual for Disposition of Federal Traffic

and Related Petty Offenses in the Southern District of California, which

is published by the U.S. Magistrate, San Diego, California. This system

provides for civilian violators to be issued a citation to appear before

a Federal Magistrate in U.S. District Court.     For most offenses coll­

ateral may be posted by mail and forfeited in lieu of appearing in court.

Other more serious offenses involve mandatory court appearances. Failure

to appear will result in arrest by Federal Authorities.
