Key legal question
Whether the federal criminal appeal was filed within the 30-day deadline
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed after the statutory deadline and is therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The contested decision was served on 26 February 2009. The appeal had to be lodged by 30 March 2009, but the postal stamp shows dispatch only on 31 March 2009. Under Art. 100(1) and Art. 108 BGG, the court could not enter into the appeal.
