2026(People v. Lopez (2012) 55 Cal.4th 569, 585 .) The majority in Ibarra held that a signed waiver form which confirms receipt of counsel’s advice on the pertinent issues eliminates the need for “ritual recitation” from a judge and satisfies “the dictates of Boykin and Tahl.” ( Ibarra, supra, 34 Cal.3d at pp. 285–286.)
