MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Arizona v. Tohono O'Odham Nation, 818 F.3d 549 (9th Cir. 2016):
"A waiver is an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right or privilege. It can preclude the assertion of legal rights. An implied waiver of rights will be found where there is clear, decisive and unequivocal conduct which indicates a purpose to waive the legal rights involved." United States v. Amwest Sur. Ins. Co., 54 F.3d 601, 60203 (9th Cir.1995) (internal citations and quotation marks omitted).
