Omnilex headnote

Art. 32 al. 2 LTF; withdrawal of an appeal; striking off the docket. Where the appellant expressly withdraws the federal appeal, the Court takes note of the withdrawal and removes the matter from the docket without entering into the merits. In such a procedural termination, no further substantive review is undertaken; the proceeding ends by order. If the order so provides, no judicial costs are charged (consid. unique).
