Questão jurídica principal
Whether the unmotivated appeal declaration had to be rejected for lack of a timely reasoned brief.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Because the appellant filed no motivated memorandum within ten days after receipt of the judgment, the court could not enter into the appeal and had to dismiss it preclusively.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 425 CPP, a party who files only a declaration of appeal without conclusions or reasons must submit a motivated brief within ten days of receiving the judgment. The court found that the judgment had been duly notified by registered mail and deemed received at the end of the collection period when it remained unclaimed. No supplementary brief was filed.
