The Supreme Court of Justice ordered the continuation of the proceedings after dismissing a criminal appeal due to the absence of a written motivation. The appellant failed to provide the necessary reasoning required by law, while the opposing party argued that the procedural defect rendered the appeal inadmissible. The court ruled that without a substantive justification, the appeal cannot be examined on its merits and must be rejected.
