Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal to the Federal Supreme Court met the formal motivation requirements.
Extracted holding
It did not; the filing did not explain how the cantonal decision violated federal law.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 42(1) and (2) LTF, the appellant must set out concisely why the challenged decision is unlawful. Here, he only requested return of a seized mobile phone and did not address the cantonal finding that his appeal had been withdrawn.
