Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal order on appointed-counsel compensation was still pending or had become moot after judgment 6B_517/2012.
Extracted holding
The appeal had become moot and had to be struck from the docket.
Extracted reasoning
The earlier Federal Supreme Court judgment had annulled the challenged order and remanded the case for a new decision, including on the amount of costs; therefore the present appeal no longer had any live object.
