Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal had to be removed from the docket after the appellant's withdrawal
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appellant's statement was an unequivocal, unconditional, and complete withdrawal of the appeal, so the case had to be struck from the docket.
Extrahierte Begründung
Once the appellant clearly stated that he no longer wanted a ruling on the merits and no other conclusions remained, the dispute had no further object; the Federal Court does not issue advisory opinions on the procedure followed below.
