Key legal question
Whether the federal criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the cost advance.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant did not pay the requested advance within the additional deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 62 paras. 1 and 3 LTF, failure to pay the advance after a supplementary deadline makes the appeal inadmissible. The appeal was therefore manifestly inadmissible under Art. 108 para. 1 let. a LTF.
