2007To the contrary, a waiver not only need not be express, it need not be expressed in words (see id. [“A waiver, the intentional relinquishment of a known right, may be accomplished by express agreement or by such conduct or failure to act as to evince an intent not to claim the purported advantage” (citations omitted)]).

1993"A waiver, the intentional relinquishment of a known right * * * may be accomplished by express agreement or by such conduct or failure to act as to evince an intent not to claim the purported advantage [citation omitted]”, and with the exception of "instances where there would be transgressions of public policy”, any of the "rights and privileges to which one is legally entitled” may be waived (Hadden v Consolidated Edison Co., 45 NY2d 466, 469 ).

2002However, giving defendant the broadest benefit of any doubt, the court directed a court officer to make still another search of the courthouse facilities abutting the courtroom, ruling that, in the circumstances presented, if defendant was not found or did not appear within an additional 15 minutes, defendant’s actions would constitute an implied waiver of his right to be present, as instructed by the Court of Appeals in People v Parker (supra at 140 ).

1983Consequently, it was improper to conduct the hearing and to try defendant in absentia {see People v Parker, supra; People v Thompson, 94 AD2d 898 ).
