The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against the Second Instance Court's rejection of the cassation. The appellant filed a personal cassation containing a request for a court-appointed lawyer, but the statutory one-month deadline for filing the cassation expired before the lawyer could be appointed and the document prepared. The court ruled that the personal filing did not extend the deadline and the request for a lawyer was insufficient to cure the procedural defect.
