Key legal question
Whether the appellant had to appear at the district court hearing and whether the federal appeal met the reasoning requirements.
Extracted holding
The appeal did not show any violation of federal law with respect to the duty to appear and failed to address the appellate court's reasoning; it was therefore not enterable.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant did not confront the lower court's findings that he had enough time to arrange care for his seriously ill wife. The brief did not satisfy the requirements of Art. 42(2) and Art. 106(2) BGG.
