Criminal appeal withdrawn; no costs taxed

Open source

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The defendant withdrew his criminal appeal by letter of 18 April 2008. The Federal Supreme Court accordingly struck the appeal from the docket and ordered that no costs be charged. The order was issued by the President of the Criminal Division and communicated to the parties and the cantonal court.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of a criminal appeal; the court strikes the proceedings from the docket once the appeal is withdrawn in writing. In such a situation, the matter becomes moot and is not adjudicated on the merits; the court may waive the levying of costs. The dispositive consequence is a procedural removal from the register rather than a substantive ruling on the challenged judgment.
