Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew the criminal appeal on 12 May 2014. The Federal Supreme Court therefore struck the appeal from its docket as moot and ordered that no court costs be charged. The decision was issued by the president of the Criminal Law Division in written proceedings.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of an appeal renders the proceedings moot; the court strikes the case from the docket and may dispense with court costs. In such a situation, no substantive examination of the challenged decision is made (consid. 1-2).
