Seventh Circuit on processing appeal waivers
Thanks to this post by Marcia Oddi at The Indiana Law Blog, I see that the Seventh Circuit today in the habeas case of Wayne v. US, No. 05-3092 (7th Cir. Nov. 22, 2005) (accessible here), had occassion to talk about appeal waivers. Here is the money quote:
We can accomplish the goal of enforcing waivers appropriately only if the government clearly alerts the court to the existence of the waiver and furnishes the necessary information about its exact terms.
