Being disposed and sentenced is a criminal law term. Essentially what this means is, the arraignment was waived and the criminal was given a sentence.
What is initial arraignment moot mean
HTS waived for preliminary hearing means the defendants forgoes his rights to this hearing. The defendant just wishes to proceed to the next step of the judicial process.
After arraignment: preliminary hearing(s) take place - followed by the trial itself - followed by a sentencing hearing (if found guilty).
ARRAIGNMENT.
Arraignment is the first step in a criminal proceeding. During an arraignment, a defendant appears to be advised of the charges and enter a plea: guilty or not guilty. During arraignment, further court dates are also set and the hearing offers a defendant the opportunity to ask for court-appointed counsel, if he or she hasn't secured a lawyer of his or her own. Moreover, bail issues can be resolved at the arraignment hearing. Arraignment is the first step in a criminal proceeding.

Original answer provided was 'Arraignment'...BUT, if you are taking a quiz for a certain online school in AJ101 and the options are "Booking, Trial, Preliminary Hearing, and Arraignment", they list Booking as the correct answer. Hope this helps.
It is during the process called arraignment. The charge is read and you plead.
Typically a preliminary hearing which is required to establish probable cause to arrest and in some cases to detain a suspect. An arraignment is when the formal charges are read to the accused and the accused has an opportunity to enter a plea. In many cases both the preliminary hearing and the arraignment occur at the same time.
If you have an attorney he probably waived it
In court the term waived usually means to giving up or challenging something. Normally this means that one or both sides have came to a agreement so the hearing is no longer required.
A felony case is called when someone is charged with what the law considers a serious crime. There are three phases of a felony case: Arraignment (the preliminary hearing), the Second Arraignment (felony pre-trial), and Felony Trial (where a jury will hear the case).
