Does the mass silent waiver impermissibly presume acquiescence in the loss of the right to appeal and fails to overcome the presumption against waiver?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lopez-Vasquez, 985 F.2d 1017 (9th Cir. 1993):

We conclude mass silent waiver impermissibly "presume[s] acquiescence" in the loss of the right to appeal and fails to overcome the "presumption against waiver." See Barker, 407 U.S. at 525, 92 S.Ct. at 2189. 4 We reach the same conclusion in United States v. Gonzalez-Mendoza, 985 F.2d 1014, 1017 (9th Cir.1993), also decided today.
