Key legal question
Whether the complaint against the refusal to change appointed defense counsel was sufficiently reasoned under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Extracted holding
The complaint did not explain, with the required constitutional arguments, why the cantonal decision would violate rights; it was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
For challenges to a cantonal-law decision, mere violation of cantonal law is not enough. The complainant had to substantiate a violation of constitutional rights under the qualified pleading duty, but failed to do so.
