The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal for abandonment because the appellant failed to submit written arguments within the statutory 30-day period. The procedural outcome was a declaration of desertion based on the absence of filings after the deadline expired. The court ruled that the appeal must be judged deserted under the Civil Procedure Code, applying the principle of procedural economy to resolve the defect at the highest level.
