one-count information

German translation: einfache Anklage

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:one-count information
German translation:einfache Anklage

English term or phrase: one-count information
"Defendant will waive indictment and plead guilty pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(e)(1)(C) to a one-count information, to be filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California."

This is an excerpt from a plea agreement.

I know that count can mean something like "Anklagepunkt" oder "einzelner Tatvorwurf" in German, but I'm unable to understand how you can "plead guilty to a one-count information" and why this is "to be filed" in court, not to speak of any sensible translation for this. Does it mean something like: Die Beklagte bekennt sich schuldig in Bezug auf Anklagepunkt Nr. 1"???

Any help very much appreciated!!!

Eintrag zu einer Ersttat


Explanation:
I'm not sure about the German wording, but I'm pretty sure this refers to the American penal system that if you get caught the third time, you're in serious trouble.

Reference

Reference information:
Definition of "information":

"In many (though not all) U.S. jurisdictions retaining the grand jury, prosecutors often have a choice between seeking an indictment from a grand jury, or filing a charging document directly with the court. Such a document is usually called an information, accusation, or complaint, to distinguish it from a grand jury indictment. To protect the suspect's due process rights in felony cases (where the suspect's interest in liberty is at stake), there is usually a preliminary hearing where a judge determines if there is probable cause that the charged crime was committed by the suspect in custody. If the judge finds such probable cause, he or she will bind or hold over the suspect for trial."
