Sintesi Omnilex

X.________ withdrew the criminal complaint filed against the Zurich Stadtrichteramt’s decision concerning misconduct. The Federal Supreme Court, sitting through its Criminal Division and acting by a single judge, therefore struck the appeal from the docket as moot. It also ordered that no costs be levied. The decision was communicated to the parties and to the Zurich Cantonal Court of Appeal, III Criminal Chamber.

Massima Omnilex

Withdrawal of an appeal before the Federal Supreme Court renders the proceedings moot; the case is struck from the docket (gegenstandslos) without substantive review. In such circumstances, the court may dispense with court costs. The decisive factor is the absence of a live controversy following the appellant’s withdrawal; no further adjudication on the merits is required.
