Key legal question
Whether the federal criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the required advance on costs.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant failed to pay the advance within the additional deadline set under Art. 62(3) LTF.
Extracted reasoning
A party seizing the Federal Supreme Court must advance the presumed costs. If the amount is not paid within the supplementary deadline after an initial failure, the appeal is inadmissible under Art. 62(3) LTF and must be dismissed summarily under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
