Resumo Omnilex

X.________ challenged the cantonal judgment concerning conversion of his community-service sentence into a custodial sentence. The Federal Supreme Court held that he had no legally protected interest in annulment or modification because the cantonal court had already refused the conversion he opposed. The criminal appeal was therefore manifestly inadmissible under Art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF. In view of this outcome, the Court exceptionally waived judicial costs.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 81 LTF; admissibility of a criminal appeal requires a legally protected interest in the annulment or modification of the challenged decision. A party lacks standing where the cantonal decision is already favorable on the point contested before the Federal Supreme Court. Manifest inadmissibility may be dealt with summarily under Art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF. Where the appeal is inadmissible, the court may exceptionally refrain from charging judicial costs (consid. 1-2).

M. le Juge Schneider, Juge unique.

Parties
X.________,
recourant,

contre

Ministère public du canton de Vaud, 1014 Lausanne,
intimé.

Objet
Conversion de la peine de travail d'intérêt général en peine privative de liberté,

recours contre l'arrêt du Tribunal cantonal du canton de Vaud, Cour de cassation pénale, du 18 mai 2009.

Considérant:
qu'en vertu de l'art. 81 LTF, seules ont qualité pour interjeter un recours en matière pénale au Tribunal fédéral les parties qui ont un intérêt à l'annulation ou à la modification de la décision attaquée,
que X.________, qui demande exclusivement que la peine de travail d'intérêt général qui lui a été infligée ne soit pas convertie en peine privative de liberté, n'a aucun intérêt à l'annulation ou à la réforme de l'arrêt attaqué, qui réforme le jugement de conversion du juge d'application des peines en ce sens que la conversion est refusée,
que son recours, manifestement irrecevable, doit dès lors être écarté en application de l'art. 108 al. 1 let. a LTF,
qu'il sera exceptionnellement renoncé à percevoir des frais de justice.

Par ces motifs, le Juge unique prononce:

1.
Le recours est irrecevable.

2.
Il n'est pas prélevé de frais judiciaires.

3.
Le présent arrêt est communiqué aux parties et au Tribunal cantonal du canton de Vaud, Cour de cassation pénale.

Whether the criminal appeal was admissible under Art. 81 LTF despite the appellant's lack of a legally protected interest in changing the cantonal judgment.

Decisão extraída

The appellant had no interest in annulment or amendment because the cantonal judgment already refused conversion of the community-service sentence into custody; the appeal was therefore inadmissible.

Fundamentação extraída

Under Art. 81 LTF, only a party with an interest in annulment or modification may appeal in criminal matters. Since the decision challenged was favorable to the appellant on the only point he raised, he lacked the requisite interest.
