Open source

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew a criminal law appeal concerning a traffic-rule violation fine. The Federal Supreme Court therefore removed the case from the docket as moot and did not levy court costs. The order was issued by the President of the Criminal Law Division.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of the appeal renders the proceedings moot and leads to removal from the docket; in such a situation, the court may dispense with costs. The order is procedural and does not address the merits of the underlying criminal judgment.
