Questão jurídica principal
Whether the justice-delay appeal remained live after the cantonal court ruled on the merits
Decisão extraída
The appeal had become moot because the cantonal court rendered its judgment after the federal appeal was filed, so the appellant no longer had a legally protected interest in an immediate ruling.
Fundamentação extraída
Once the lower court decided the case, the request for a prompt judgment lost its object and the file had to be struck from the roll.
