Key legal question
Whether the unsigned appeal met the formal requirements of Art. 396(1) and Art. 110 CPP.
Extracted holding
No. A written appeal must be dated and signed; after the defect was not cured within the deadline, the appeal had to be declared inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The court found the defect was properly notified and that the appellant did not remedy it. An unsigned written filing is invalid unless corrected upon the authority's request; failure to do so leads to non-entry.
