Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew his criminal appeal on 10 April 2014. The Federal Supreme Court therefore struck the appeal from the docket as moot and ordered that no court costs be levied. The decision was issued by the Criminal Division of the Federal Supreme Court in written proceedings.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of an appeal renders the proceedings moot and leads to striking the case from the docket; in such circumstances the court may dispense with court costs. The decision does not address the merits of the challenged cantonal non-entry ruling.
