Key legal question
Whether the public law appeal was admissible for complaints challenging application of federal traffic law and the requested broader relief.
Extracted holding
Those complaints were inadmissible in public law appeal; the correct remedy would have been a nullity appeal, and conversion was refused.
Extracted reasoning
Challenges to the legal effects of traffic signs concerned federal substantive criminal law. Because the appellant, a lawyer, knowingly chose the wrong remedy and expressly relied on the public law appeal rules, there was no manifest titling error justifying conversion.
