Extracted by Omnilex
X. filed a federal criminal-law complaint for denial of justice against the Fribourg cantonal court after challenging the refusal of conditional release. Once the cantonal court decided the matter on 16 March 2012, X. withdrew his federal appeal and asked for costs. The Federal Criminal Court took note of the withdrawal, struck the case from the docket, ordered no judicial fees, denied party compensation, and held the legal-aid request moot.
Art. 32 al. 2 LTF, Art. 66 al. 2 and 3 LTF, Art. 68 al. 4 LTF; withdrawal of the appeal and procedural costs: where an appeal is withdrawn, the Federal Court takes note thereof and strikes the case from the docket. As a rule, no judicial fees are levied in such a situation, while party costs are denied if the withdrawal rendered the proceedings unnecessary or caused avoidable costs. A request for legal aid becomes moot once no further decision on the merits is required (consid. 1).

Whether the federal appeal should be removed from the docket after withdrawal.
The Court took note of the withdrawal and struck the case from the docket.
Following the cantonal decision of 16 March 2012, the appeal was withdrawn by letter of 21 March 2012; the Court therefore entered no further merits examination.
Whether court costs should be charged.
No judicial fees were levied.
Because the matter was struck from the docket after withdrawal, the Court ordered the proceedings to be free of court costs.
Whether party costs or legal aid should be granted.
No party compensation was awarded and the legal-aid request became moot.
Costs were caused unnecessarily by the appellant; therefore no indemnity was due, and the legal-aid request had no object.
