Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the criminal appeal filed by the defendant could be treated as withdrawn after counsel's withdrawal filing.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was deemed withdrawn and the court took formal note of that withdrawal.
Extrahierte Begründung
Counsel expressly withdrew the appeal he had filed, and the conditions for withdrawal under Art. 437 CPP were met; the defendant's later letter was therefore without object.
