U.S. v. Harris

1 Citing case

  1. U.S. v. Mijangos

    240 F.3d 601 (7th Cir. 2001)   Cited 6 times

    Such a failure to object, in this instance, involves forfeiture and not waiver. Although waiver and forfeiture are related doctrines, waiver occurs when a defendant intentionally relinquishes or abandons a known right, whereas forfeiture occurs when a defendant fails to timely assert his rights. See United States v. Harris, 230 F.3d 1054, 1058 (7th Cir. 2000); United States v. Staples, 202 F.3d 992, 995 (7th Cir. 2000); Perez, 43 F.3d at 1135. Forfeiture of a right does not extinguish the right to raise the issue on appeal. See Harris, 230 F.3d at 1058.
