Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal met the required substantiation standards and could be reviewed on the merits.
Extracted holding
The appellant’s pleadings did not sufficiently engage with the lower court’s reasoning and partly raised issues of cantonal procedure or factual review that were not cognizable on federal appeal.
Extracted reasoning
A federal appeal must specifically show which federal rules were violated and how; mere references to the file, attacks on factual findings, or complaints about cantonal evidentiary rulings are inadmissible.
