Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal met the reasoning requirements of Art. 42 LTF
Extracted holding
No. The appeal contained no formal request and did not address the reasoning of the lower court in a manner sufficient to show a violation of federal law or a manifestly incorrect finding of facts.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 42(1)-(2) and 97(1) LTF, the appellant must provide a topically reasoned appeal. As this was not done, the court could not examine the merits.
