Whether the criminal appeal met the formal motivation requirements under Arts. 385 and 396 CCP.
No. The appeal was still insufficiently motivated after the granted cure period, so the court could not enter into the merits.
An appeal must identify the challenged points, the reasons for a different decision, and the evidence relied on. When these requirements are not met, the appellate court must return the filing for completion; if the defects persist after the additional deadline, it must decline to hear the case.
