Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal withdrawn within the set deadline could be accepted as valid.
Extracted holding
Yes. The withdrawal was timely and valid, so the court took note of it.
Extracted reasoning
The withdrawal was filed on 5 September 2013, within the time limit set by the procedural order and before the close of the exchange of memorials; therefore Art. 386 para. 2 let. b CPP was satisfied.
