definition waiver in Florida

2014A "rule” is "each agency statement of general applicability that implements, interprets, or prescribes law or policy.” § 120.52(16), Fla. Stat.; see also Dep’t of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles v. Schluter, 705 So.2d 81 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (holding that policies governing employee misconduct that applied without exception were unadopt-ed rules); McCarthy v. Dep’t of Ins. and Treasurer, 479 So.2d 135 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985) (holding that a letter from the fire marshal setting out requirements for obtaining fire inspector certification constituted an una-dopted rule); Dep’t of Admin. v. Harvey, 356

1985State, Department of Administration v. Harvey, 356 So.2d 323 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978); Price Wise Buying Group v. Nuzum, 343 So.2d 115 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977).

2008Under the circumstances of this case, the failure in this regard does not comport with the definition of waiver, i.e., "an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right or privilege." Barber v. Page, 390 U.S. 719, 725 , 88 S.Ct. 1318 , 20 L.Ed.2d 255 (1968) (quoting Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 464 , 58 S.Ct. 1019 , 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938)). *156 Additionally, we conclude that the mere existence of rule 3.190(j) does not provide defendants with a "prior opportunity" for cross-examination, as explained in Crawford .

2026“If an agency statement meets the definition of a rule, but hasn’t been adopted as a rule under chapter 120, then it is considered an unadopted rule.” Id. (citation modified).

2007Section 120.52(15)(b) states that the term rule does not include: “Legal memoranda or opinions issued to an agency by the Attorney General or agency legal opinions pri- or to their use in connection with an agency action.” Id. (emphasis added).

2003Thus the COA form meets the definition of a rule under chapter 120. 5 See Dep’t of Transp. v. Blackhawk Quarry of Fla., Inc., 528 So.2d 447 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988).

2002We agree with the district court in Young that the definition provided in the standard jury instruction is erroneous and that the definition should be that "[m]alice means ill will, hatred, spite, an evil intent." Gaylord, 356 So.2d at 314 . [2] We also agree that using the inaccurate definition provided in the standard jury instruction "reduc[ed] the state's burden of proof on an essential element of the offense charged." Young, 753 So.2d at 729 .

2002Probably the most important decision of the United States Supreme Court for guidance in the instant action is United States v. Ross, 456 U.S. 798 , 102 S.Ct. 2157 , 72 L.Ed.2d 572 (1982).

1989Although the definition of a rule "`obviously could be read literally to encompass virtually any utterance by an agency,'" [2] nevertheless, to do so makes it impossible for an agency to "wisely sharpen its purposes through adjudication before casting rules." Id. at 581 (citing Shapiro, The Choice of Rulemaking or Adjudication in the Development of Administrative Policy, 78 Harv.L.Rev. 921, 927 (1965)).

1989In Thomas v. State, 531 So.2d 708 (Fla. 1988), the court overruled previous decisions that distinguished between common and uncommon devices as burglary tools.

1984Thus, we decline the District's suggestion to reconsider our prior holding in Webster v. South Florida Management District, 367 So.2d 734 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979).

1981We agree with the hearing officer's conclusion that the statement is one of general applicability that implements, interprets or prescribes law, policy, procedure or practice requirements of the agency and falls squarely within the definition of a rule as defined by § 120.52(14), Florida Statutes (1977).

1977To suggest that failure to cross-examine in such circumstances constitutes a waiver of the right of confrontation at a subsequent trial hardly comports with this Court's definition of a waiver as `an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right or privilege.' Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 464 , 58 S.Ct. 1019 , 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938); Brookhart v. Janis, 384 U.S. 1, 4 , 86 S.Ct. 1245 , 16 L.Ed.2d 314 (1966)."

1974In Hime v. Florida Real Estate Commission, 61 So.2d 182 (Fla. 1952), it was stated that the Legislature of this State has held administrative boards to strict requirements of due process.

1961In the majority opinion the case of Baggett v. Davis, 169 So. 372 , supra, is cited in support of the definition of the exception to the rule involved here.
