Key legal question
Whether the federal criminal appeal was sufficiently reasoned under Art. 42 BGG
Extracted holding
No. The appellant merely referred to his prior appeal brief and did not explain in the appeal itself how the challenged judgment violated the law.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 42(1) and (2) BGG require a concise statement in the appeal itself; cross-reference to earlier submissions is inadmissible. Because the appeal contained no legal arguments, it was manifestly insufficiently reasoned.
